(ul Leopolda Pokorneho) Records of Třebíč's Jewish community go back until the 14th
century, and the town's Jewish Quarter is the best-preserved ghetto in the Czech Re-
public. Most of Třebíč's Jews perished in WWII, but the buildings here, including two
synagogues, survived and are being slowly refurbished. The highlight is the Rear
(New) Synagogue (Zadní (Nová) synagóga; 568 823 005; Subakova 1/44; adult/con-
cession 60/30Kč; 10am-noon & 1-5pm) , which has beautifully restored frescoes and a
wonderful historical model of the ghetto.
