Abstract: This field report provides us with a poignant account of the current condition of Jewish life in the author's home-town, Subotica, set against the story of the community over the course of the 20th century. The integration of interviews with community members together with Ms. Stojkovi?'s own personal insights and recollections create a fascinating window into the community’s situation, dilemmas, hopes and prospects. While this report deals with one small, specific locale, it has broader implications; as she writes: "Set in a unique historical and geographical environment, I believe that the Jewish community of Subotica tells a story common to many other post-socialist settings, especially the ones placed in the realm of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire".
