The history of the Jews in Liechtenstein goes back nearly a century, in particular to the time of the Holocaust.
The Jewish community of Liechtenstein in 2022 is a population of 30 people who attend a synagogue in Switzerland.[1]
World War II
From 2001 to 2005, an international team of six historians (including Dan Michman and Peter Geiger) investigated the matter for the World Jewish Congress.[2] Their conclusions are following.
In its report, the commission concludes that the tiny state did not employ slave workers and no assets belonging to Jewish families were confiscated but the country's refugee policy was ambivalent.[3]
About 400
Even though it was sandwiched between neutral Switzerland and Nazi-controlled Austria, Liechtenstein still had some room to maneuver. Liechtenstein accepted mainly rich Jews, who were expected to spend their money in the country or who created jobs by establishing companies in the principality. Like most other Western and overseas countries, Liechtenstein tightened its immigration laws in 1938. Liechtenstein's policy can therefore be compared to that of other countries.
