Online Conference: The History of the Jews of Serbia, 22 Januar 2024

This conference aims to bring to the attention of the broader academic public the complex  history, visual and literary culture of the Jews in Serbia in the context of the historical, religious and cultural circumstances of South East Europe and the Balkans, from antiquity to the present. Particular attention will focus on Sephardic Jews, their presence in Serbia, at that time as part of the Ottoman Empire, since the XVI century and their highly significant contribution and at one point in the XIX and XX centuries, practically full integration in Serbian society following the reestablishment of the independent Serbian state in the wake of the two revolutions against Ottoman rule.
