DUBROVNIK
Jewish Museum
Zudioska 5
There is a small Jewish museum in the building of the medieval Synagogue. The precious collection of ritual objects includes silver and textiles, as well as 13th/14th century Torah scrolls brought to Dubrovnik by Jews expelled from Spain. All were smuggled out of the synagogue and hidden from the Nazis during World War II by members of the local Jewish Toletino family.

Established in 1968 at the site of the Jasenovac concentration camp, which was founded by the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia as a place of imprisonment, forced labor and executions, primarily for the Serb Orthodox population as well as for Jews and Roma. The reinforced concrete memorial, erected in 1966 and designed by Bogdan Bogdanović, is in the shape of a huge flower.
