Lomnice u Tišnova
The Jewish community of Lomnice u Tišnova existed since the beginning of the 18th century. But already in 1571 a "certain Jew" from Lomnice was mentioned, the first written evidence of the existence of Jewish population in the city. While in the 16th and 17th century there were only few Jews coming to Lomnice, this changed at the beginning of the 18th century. 708 Jews from Lysice were resettled in Lomnice. A first Jewish community with a prayer hall was established. Around 1800 about 80 Jewish families lived in Lomnice with about 611 persons, that was then at least half the inhabitants. In the first half of the 19th century there was also a Yeshiva, a Jewish university in the city. In 1830, the community consisted of 606 persons, more than a third of the population. Thereafter the Jewish portion of the population decreased continuously: in 1848 only 306 (20%), in 1900 merely 88 people (5%), 1930 only 30 persons (2%). A rabbi was active here until 1919. In 1929, the Jewish community was finally dissolved. After the destruction of Czechoslovakia and the German occupation, about 35 Jews from other municipalities in the region sought refuge in Lomnice. Already in autumn of 1941, however, their property was confiscated, their freedom of movement was restricted. Deportations were carried out between December 1941 and April 1942. The first transport took place on 5 December 1941 (Transport K), the last and largest from Brno on 4 April 1942 (transport Ah). The oldest person on this train was Mrs. Schiller, 86 years old, the youngest was Libuška Tuliss, not even three years old. After the war, only one Jew, Jan Líbezný, returned to Lomnice. He had lost all his relatives in Nazi concentration camps. On the occasion of the reopening of the Lomnic Synagogue in 1997, a memorial plaque for 58 victims of the Shoah was unveiled. On 17 September 2011, the first collocation of Stolpersteine took place. They were dedicated to the Liebesny family.Stolpersteine v Lomnici (Stolpersteine in Lomnice), a documentation of Jews in Lomnice, produced by "Okrašlovací spolek pro Lomnici a okolí" (OSLO), online: oslomnice.cz/...; abbreviated english version: oslomnice.cz/
