Kurzfassung:
Describes the situation of the Jews in Moravia in the 14th century. They did not suffer persecution or expulsion, and therefore Moravia became a land of refuge for Jews from Germany and Hungary. However, their occupations were restricted and most of them were obliged to engage in moneylending. The rulers, always in need of money, exploited them and thus forced them to take exorbitant interest. Often, they came into possession of the property of the debtors, including nobles. All this led the populace to hate them.
