Třebíč (Pronunciation: [ˈtr̝̊ɛbiːtʃ]) is a district town in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands and an important center of Jewish culture in South Moravia. The large Jewish quarter and the St. Prokop Basilica are part of the Unesco world heritage.
background
The city was founded together with a monastery around 1100. The Jewish ghetto already existed around 1340. The city was, among other things, destroyed several times in the Hussite Wars (15th century) and in the 30 Years War (1618-1648). Industrialization began in the 19th century. Around 1848 the Jews increasingly settled in the big cities and workers moved into the houses in the Jewish quarter. During World War II, the last 250 or so Jews were expelled or murdered; after 1945 the German-speaking population was also expelled. The old parts of the city increasingly fell into disrepair, but in the 1970s and 1980s there was no money for a complete demolition and new construction, which meant that the old city with its unique ensembles was preserved. After extensive renovations, the Jewish quarter plus the imposing Prokop basilica became a Unesco World Heritage Site.
