—<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This international conference will reflect the diversity and dynamism of Jewish life in the Balkans, where Jews, especially before World War II, played an important role in its social, cultural and economic development. In some areas, such as in the Macedonian city of Bitola, in Thessaloniki or in the Croatian-Dalmatian city of Salona, Jews had been living since Ancient Roman times. During the Inquisition, Sephardic Jews from Spain and Portugal settled in what was then the Ottoman Empire, whereas Ashkenazi Jews took up residence mainly in Slovenia and Croatia. A vibrant Jewish life developed especially in larger cities where Jews established religious communities and various cultural, athletic and humanitarian organizations.<\/p>\n

 
\nThe conference offers a great opportunity to deepen historical knowledge about life, thoughts, activities and roles of Jews in the Balkans in times of war and peace. Scholars from Macedonia, Kosovo, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, Israel, Germany, Austria, Greece, Spain, Great Britain and the USA will discuss new findings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The conference is organized by the Moses Mendelssohn Centre for European-Jewish Studies (University of Potsdam) and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (University of Split).<\/p>\n

 
\nIt is supported by the Moses Mendelssohn Foundation Erlangen & Berlin, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (University of Split) and the Jewish Community of Split.<\/p>\n
