I have launched maps of the Jewish population in several Bohemian and Moravian towns, namely Boskovice, Hranice, Loštice, Kolín, Příbor, Žatec: https://map.kehillot.eu/

Hopefully, other towns will be added in future.

Can you please add Holleschau/Holesov, Prerau/Prerov and Ungarisch Brod?

I would like to add every Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian town, but You know... my time, resources and possibilities are limited. For now, I have census data for Nový Jičín, Uherské Hradiště and partially for Olomouc and Ostrava. What has to be done is to vectorize the old maps and to find house numbers. This is what I plan to do in the quite near future, hopefully in the next months.

This is a great project. Thank you Daniel (or Dr. Baránek).

If there is data for little places like Butschowitz (near Brünn/Brno) and Olbersdorf (in Moravia Silesia), I would be very interested.

All the best,
Stephen

Hi, this is a great project thank you Daniel. Is there any chance you could add in the smaller places such as Široké Třebčice?
Thanks
Mike

Private User You can browse census data from Bučovice here: https://www.mza.cz/scitacioperaty/digisada/search

Michael Anthony Frankl As I already wrote, I would love to add it, but...

A great project. Looking forward to see more torwns added. Kolesovice , Susice, Trebon for instance

Great project. Do you have any data from Dolní Kounice (Kanitz) in

No, but you can browse the scans in the link above.

Daniel, Marketa, thank you for the outstanding effort and bringing this to our attention. For communities like Hranice and Pribor among others, how do we find the addresses and residence occupants that correspond to the maps?

Raymond David Minkus I am not sure, whether I understand your question correctly. Are You asking for archival sources, or for help with searching in the map?

(Just to avoid any misunderstandings, Markéta has nothing to do with the project. She only copied my text by mistake.)

Thank you for developing this project. It would be wonderful if the Historical Institute could fund future PhD or Master's level candidates to continue adding to this database. Or if future funding sources could be discovered.

Alexander Woodle Well, I wish the same. Just now, there is a possibility to apply for funding in the scope of the Czech-Israeli bilateral agreement. I have an idea to digitize the Jewish vital records using AI (HTR), however it seems imposible to find a partner institution, when there is a war in Israel. If somebody knows about some Israeli institution which would be willing to apply to such a project with me even in such hard times, I would be glad to hear.

I'd like to ask how we can help. Could you use volunteers? Would you need any special skills? Could you train people to do the activities so that you could take on more towns? What other resources would be helpful?

Daniel Baránek, Racheli Kreisberg is interested in incorporating your work into her project at https://simonwiesenthal-galicia-ai.com/swiggi/index.php.

Wow Daniel great work. I love your map and the fact it is searchable. Many thanks.

Dear all, thanks for making the connection. How can we work together on https://simonwiesenthal-galicia-ai.com/swiggi/intro-swiggi.php?

Kind regards,

Racheli

Benjamin Curt Tysch Dear Benjamin, thanks for you willingness. I will surely think about it and try to figure out which forms of crowdsourcing would be the best.

An excellent project. Thank you!

Thank you, Daniel Baránek, for providing this great tool.

Great project and many thanks for the work. I wonder whether the many names of Jews in Bohemian communities up to 1930s would be of any use as a cross-reference? (I confess that my understanding of the technology is too limited to know if this is a silly suggestion!) If worth checking, this link is the way to get to the translations made to date: www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/bohemia/Bohemia.html#TOC

Excellent job with the project Daniel Baránek - perhaps you or someone here came across Jewish Hořovice records?
