Uzajamna lojalnost – državna politika i jevrejstvo Sarajeva u međuratnom periodu
Mutual loyalty – State policy and the Jews of Sarajevo in the Interwar period

Summary/Abstract: Through a reduced representation this paper traces the development of the relations between the state and the Jews of Sarajevo in the interwar period, focusing particularly on the year 1930, when the mutual positive reception reached its culmination. The application of the “Law on the Jewish religious community in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia”, aid given to the planting of the King Peter’s Forest in Palestine, the support of Keren Kejemet’s action, the building of a new Sephardic synagogue, were just some of the visible signs of state support, while the Jews responded with their gestures of loyalty. During the 1930’s the pressure of anti-Semitism did not evade Sarajevo, while the passing of anti-Semitic regulations by the government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia announced the tragic position of the Jewish people in the Second World War.
