This project, a sub project of the Jewish Communities of Bohemia and Moravia, attempts to collect persons connected to the small town of Chudenice, (Chudenitz), near Klatovy in the area of Plzen.
Chudenice was a market town for the surrounding area and Jewish families lived there to conduct business with visitors and merchants. The current population in the town in the Czech Republic is 670 people.
A search of Yad Vashem displays 5 people from Chudenice who perished in the Holocaust.
