Jewish Quarter of Třebíč
UNESCO World Heritage Site in Vysočina Region, Czech Republic / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jewish Quarter of Třebíč (Czech: Židovská čtvrť v Třebíči) is a neighborhood and former ghetto in the town of Třebíč, located in western Moravia, Czech Republic. The Jewish Quarter is situated on the north bank of the River Jihlava and is one of the best preserved Jewish ghettos in Europe.[1] In 2003, together with the nearby Jewish Cemetery and the St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč, the Jewish Quarter was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, because of its testimony to the exchange of cultures and values in the region.[1] As of 2013, it is the only Jewish monument outside Israel specifically placed on the World Heritage List.[2]
