Jewish Books in the National and University Library of Zagreb:

Printer Friendly Format

In recent decades, the National and University Library in Zagreb has returned some 7,000 looted books to the Jewish Community of Zagreb. A further 6,800 books in Hebrew, Ladino and Yiddish, seized from Croatian Jews or Jews fleeing from Germany or elsewhere, have now been catalogued through a project funded by the Claims Conference. 1,552 of these bear inscriptions or ex libris which could allow the owner to be identified and can be seen on the National Library of Israel website. Persons able to decipher the inscriptions or ex libris are requested to send the resulting information to CroatiaBooks@claimscon.org. For full details of the project and how to view the inscriptions, click here.
