In Ljubljana a street performance recreates life of Jews
Before the Italian and Nazi occupation and Holocaust

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 30 - The Ljubljana Jewish Culture
Centre, Mini Teater, and the Yiddishpiel theatre will stage a
street performance called Jewish Life in Ljubljana in
Krizevniska Street tonight and Wednesday, according to Slovenian
news agency STA. The eight-act play will depict Jewish customs
and celebrations prior to WWII, the occupation, and the
Holocaust. During the Holocaust, local Jews, a small community
in Slovenia at the time, were joined by thousands of refugees,
first from Germany, Austria, Czechia, and Poland, and then,
after 1941, mostly from Croatia. Following the German occupation
of Yugoslavia in 1941, Jews began to be persecuted, while the
Italian and Hungarian occupying forces behaved relatively
milder, according to STA. (ANSA).
