Jevrejski istorijski muzej

The Jewish Historical Museum is located on the first floor of the building of the Jewish Community Belgrade, in the very center of the city. The building was designed in 1928 by the architect Samuel Sumbul, for the needs of the then Jewish Sephardic Community. As a remnant of those distant days there still stands near the top of the building a big inscription „The Home of the Jewish Religious-School Community“. On the second floor of the building is the Jewish Community Belgrade, and on the third the Federation of Jewish Communities of Serbia.

The Jewish Historical Museum has a voluminous archive with about 1000 length meters of contents. The archive includes contents relevant to the activities and work of the Federation of Jewish Communities and individual communities of former Yugoslavia before WWII, Jewish printed media before WWII, documents on anti-Semitism and the Holocaust (1941 – 1945), documents of the Federation of Jewish communities from 1945 until the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1992, as well as a collection of newspapers and periodicals. Apart from documents and photo-documents, the archive also includes two electronic data bases – victims of the Holocaust from the entire former Yugoslavia and the Jewish registry books for Belgrade.
