THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CRAIOVA. A BRIEF ECONOMIC PRESENTATION
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CRAIOVA. A BRIEF ECONOMIC PRESENTATION

Summary/Abstract: In our endeavour, we have tried to shed a new light on the history of commerce from Craiova, accentuating the activity of the Jews entrepreneurs, who functioned in the locality. The information gathered until the present moment, indicates the living within the community, besides the Romanians of majority, of some families of Jews, not very numerous, but well-organised, who enjoyed financial stability, and who became renowned as a significant presence in the economic dynamic of the locality. The reconstruction of the most important moments was realised owing to the documents kept in the archives, and few written confessions, and we have the firm conviction that the lists that we have drawn-up can be made complete in the future, with relevant names and facts, in certain periods of time.
