Summary/Abstract: Jewish community in Belgrade has shared the bitter history of our capital city, and its historical position displayed the position of our society on the international scale, and on local daily-politics field, as well. For Jews, Balkan was often a good shelter for numerous pursuits, but, also, it was a nest for those who pursuited them. During the numerous migrations, from Iberian peninsula, till the settlement of Izrael, Jews were often travelling through Balkan. Some stayed, some kept travelling on, but certain number of them stayed here forming not numerous, but significant ethnic and confessional group. Today, Belgrade is pale dot on the map of dispersed Jews, and they are hardly noticeable. In this article we shall try to point out only the few causes which influence the bad position of Jewish community in Belgrade.
