Jewish Vital Records of Israelite religious community in Erdevik

Jevreji u Erdeviku (Opština Šid) se prvi put pominju tokom prve polovine 19. veka. Njihov broj se od tada stalno povećavao, od 10 osoba tokom 1847. godina do 55 osoba do 1900. godine. Tokom 20. veka njihov broj naglo opada. Jevrejska veroispovedna opština u Erdeviku je osnovana 1883. godine, a obuhvatila je Erdevik, Bingulu, Čalmu i Divoš. Svi erdevički Jevreji koji su početak rata dočekali u selu stradali su u Holokaustu. U selu je sačuvano jevrejsko groblje sa 42 groba. Matične knjige Izraelske bogoštovne opštine u Erdeviku sačuvane su za period 1849-1940. godine. Sve matice imaju obrasce, sa legendama na srpskom jeziku, pisane latinicom. Gotovo svi upisi su na nemačkom jeziku, a u svega par slučajeva prezime je pisano srpskom transkrpcijom. Matične knjige se danas čuvaju na dva mesta - Istorijski arhiv "Srem" Sremska Mitrovica i Mesna kancelarija Erdevik.The Jews of Erdevik (municipality Šid) are mentioned for the first time during the first half of the nineteenth century. From that time their number continually increased from 10 persons in 1847 to 55 in 1900. During the twentieth century, their numbers dramatically diminish. The Jewish Religious Community of Erdevik was established in 1883, covering the settlements of Erdevik, Bingula, Čalma, and Divoš. All the Jews of Erdevik, residing in the village when the war broke out perished in the Holocaust. The Jewish cemetery in the village has been preserved and contains 42 graves. The registry books of the Israelite Religious Community of Erdevik have been preserved for the period 1849-1940. All the registries have registry forms, with legends in Serbian language, written in Latin script. Almost all the entries were made in German, and only in some cases, the family names were in Serbian transcription. The registry books are presently kept in two locations - the Historical Archives "Srem" in Sremska Mitrovica, and in the Municipal Office of Erdevik
