Jews in Vukovar and its surroundings: collection of papers

Posljednji popis stanovništva Hrvatske iz 2001. godine ne popisuje Židove u Vukovaru i njegovoj okolici, no to ne znači da Židovi nisu u prošlosti nastanjivali Vukovar. O povijesti židovske zajednice u Vukovaru znamo jako malo, jer je do sada objavljena samo jedna knjiga Slavka Gavrilovića i to o povijesti Židova u Srijemu, ali do 1848. godine. Budući da ne postoji niti jedan članak kao ni znanstveni rad o Židovima u Vukovaru, ovo je pokušaj da se to ispravi. Na osnovi nekolicine znanstvenih radova koji su se više bavili poviješću Srijema i Vukovara, nego li poviješću Židova, u ovom radu je kronološki obrađen pregled nastanka, ali i nestanka židovske zajednice u Vukovaru.The last Croatian population census from 2001 does not list Jews in Vukovar and its surroundings, but this does not mean that Jews did not inhabit Vukovar in the past. We know very little about the history of the Jewish community in Vukovar, because only one book by Slavko Gavrilović has been published so far, and that is about the history of the Jews in Srijem, but until 1848. Since there is not a single article or scientific paper about the Jews in Vukovar, this is an attempt to correct that. On the basis of several scientific papers that dealt more with the history of Srijem and Vukovar than with the history of the Jews, this paper presents a chronological overview of the origin and disappearance of the Jewish community in Vukovar
