Kolinec Jewish Community
The Jewish community in Kolinec (German Kolinetz, also Kollinetz), Okres Klatovy district , Plzeňský kraj region , Czech Republic , has been reliably documented since 1654: the Bohemian berní rula , i.e. the tax role from 1654, mentions four Jewish people in Kolinec at that time , the same number is given for both 1724 and 1783. Thereafter the number of the Jewish population grew: in 1793 there were reports of nine Jewish families with 52 people, in 1838 there were 16 families. After that, their number fell again as a result of emigration: in 1880 there are only 46 people (4 percent of the total population), in 1921 20 people, in 1930 only four people.
The Jewish community was affiliated to the Jewish community in Klatovy after 1918 and therefore existed until the National Socialist occupation of Czechoslovakia. Corresponding reports show that the National Socialist administration of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia deported a total of eleven people to concentration camps, which is a disproportion in view of the four people who lived in the community in 1930. This is explained by the fact that the local authorities determined who was Jewish according to different (more stringent) characteristics of the Nuremberg race laws.
