Jewish Religious Community of Prostějov
Jewish settlement in Prostějov is documented from the 15th century. This settlement was greatly expanded in the second half of the 17th century. The local Jewish community was one of the largest and most important in Moravia, existing until the Nazi occupation. It was re-established after the Second World War, becoming a synagogue congregation in 1960 (initially as part of the Jewish Religious Community of Olomouc, later as part of the Jewish Religious Community of Brno).
