Research

Learning
Students studied the role and influence of the Jewish community on the development of the culture and economy in Slavonski Brod and surroundings. They learned how the arrival of the Jewish community accelerated local economic development, particularly the growth of the metal and wood industries.
Before this project, many students did not know that a substantial Jewish community had lived here, nor all the different ways this community brought about economic and cultural transformation. They also learnt about how and why the Jewish community disappeared during World War Two, along with their synagogue, and interviewed one of three remaining Jewish citizens, who survived the Holocaust.
