Nina Prague Guide

The former Jewish ghettos of Boskovice and Velke Mezirici

We will drive from Prague to Moravia and visit two small towns. Today there are no Jews there, but these were some of the oldest Jewish settlements in our country. In Velke Mezirici, we will visit the beautiful buildings that formerly housed the synagogues. One is used as an exhibition hall and the other, surprisingly, as a department store. We will then continue to Boskovice, a place that used to be the center of Talmudic study. During the Communist regime the former ghetto of Boskovice was rather neglected, but just a few years ago the former Jewish houses were nicely fixed. There we will visit a synagogue and an old cemetery and you will likely want to photograph the gate, which in the past divided the Christian and the Jewish part of Boskovice.
