Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the evidence regarding the history of Jewish community in Krusevac. It tells a story of those who remained firm to the faith of their ancestors, and those who, due to specific political and economic circumstances during the reign of Obrenovic dynasty, converted to Orthodox Christianity. The main source for this paper is based primarily on family archives and collected materials of brothers Slavoljub and Sava (Saul) Šaronjić, who themselves are descended from Jews who had converted to Orthodoxy.
