Myslkovice Jewish Community
The Jewish community in Myslkovice (German Miskowitz), a small community in the Okres Tábor district in the Jihočeský kraj region of South Bohemia , existed from the middle of the 17th century until 1921.
history
The first Jewish family settled in Myslkovice before 1650, as recorded in a mention from 1706; This year 3 families lived here, then 7 families in 1723 and 35 families in 1783. The Jewish community was officially established in the second half of the 18th century. It then grew significantly with the arrival of Jewish families from Galicia at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries: in 1850 the Jewish population already numbered 65 families with 474 people, i.e. 55 percent of the total population. After 1867, when the Jews became equal with the rest of the population of the monarchy, the number of Jewish residents declined: in 1890 there were only 71 people (11 percent), then only two in 1930. In 1939 there were nine people to whom the National Socialist race laws applied. However, the Jewish community was officially incorporated into the Soběslav Jewish community as early as 1921 , because the (decreasing) number of community members did not justify a separate community.
The Jewish businessman Salomon Markus Adler, father of the Austrian politician and founder of the Social Democratic Workers' Party, Victor Adler, came from Myslkovice .
