Mira Kolar-Dimitrijević ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The Zagreb Brewery (Pivovara) was founded by the Croatian Discount Bank, baron Turković, and knight Pongratz in 1892. Following initial success, itfell in a crisis until it became a privatp enterprise of the Jewish family Alexander, headed by Samuil David Alexander. He successfully managed the company until 1929, when he used assets from other companies he owned to create a powerful concern. Since this threatened the Belgrade brewers, dependent on the National Bank, the regime used the taxes and other means to thwart Croatian beer-makers. During the World War II, the Zagreb Brewery was taken over by the Privileged Croatian Industrial and Commercial (POHIT ) shareholders company, and the Alexanders joined the sorry fate of other persecuted Jews.
