Jewish families from Dolní Kralovice (Unter-Kralowitz), Bohemia, Czech Republic

This project seeks to collect all of the Jewish families from Dolní Kralovice (Unter-Kralowitz) in Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Dolní Kralovice is a municipality and village in Benešov District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.

Villages of Martinice u Dolních Kralovic, Střítež, Vraždovy Lhotice and Zahrádčice and the territory of the extinct village of Libčice are administrative parts of Dolní Kralovice.

A Jewish settlement was established in Dolní Kralovice in the 17th century at the latest. The Jewish community was disbanded during the Nazi occupation.

Documents were taken to the Jewish Museum as part of the wartime shipment of artefacts and documents from Jewish Religious Communities liquidated during the WWII.
The fonds is fragmentary and consists of community's statutes, the statutes of the burial society, meeting minutes, a book of incoming correspondence (1905–1941), a Jewish tax register (1938–1941) and a graves register. The most valuable part of the fonds is a circumcision register (1791–1835).

Before the war, a large Jewish community lived in the village. Of those 147 deported to Theresienstadt, only four reportedly came back after the war.
