Abstract
The paper gives a general overview of Jewish immigration to Croatia from the earliest times until the present. The frequent changes of political and economic conditions, as well as legislation in the immigration area determined the form and size of the Jewish community, as well as rights given or denied to it in various historical periods. The data on the number of Jews and their families are shown in chronological sequence from the 19th century to the most recent census. The demographic analysis for Croatia, in which Zagreb is specially mentioned, is given according to two criteria: Jews by nationality and people of the Jewish religion from 1990 to 1991. Apart from the demographic analysis, the paper treats educational, charity and other activities of the Jewish community in Croatia. Special attention is given to the Jewish community in Zagreb from its foundation in 1806 until the present.
