The Fifteenth Jews and Moravia Conference in Kromĕříž
The Fifteenth Jews and Moravia Conference in Kromĕříž

Summary/Abstract: Article translated by S. Hattersley. The fifteenth Židé a Morava [Jews and Moravia] conference was held at the Museum of Kromìøíž Region on 5 November 2008. It should be pointed out that the conference title is incomplete and that the organizer honours it mainly out of tradition; for Silesia is also a subject of interest for researchers taking part in the conference, and several papers given each year deal with Jewish communities and prominent individuals of Jewish descent from Silesia. The participants of the conference had access to the more than 200-page proceedings Židé a Morava XIV, which was compiled from the papers given at Kromìøíž in the previous year1 and published with the support of the Nadaèní fond obìtem holocaustu [Foundation for Holocaust Victims] as part of a support programme for educational activities related to Judaism and the development of Jewish communities.
