During a period of approximately one hundred years, from the immigration to the area of Đakovo until the Second World War, Jews were more or less equal citizens of the peaceful seat of the diocese. They owned houses and shops in city center, considering their most common occupations related to trade. They cultivated good relations with their fellow citizens and gradually integrated into the city's everyday life, either through work or free time. They established their own municipality there, where they divided obligations, built a synagoge and founded numerous societies through which they actively worked. Their peace was disturbed in 1941, when as an ethnic and religious minority, under the auspices of fascism, they were expelled from their homes and cities where they lived. A concentration camp was set up in the town of Đakovo where 566 victims, mostly Jews from Bosnia and Herzegovina, lost their lives. The vast majority of Jews from Đakovo were taken to camps in Tenja near Osijek and Auschwitz from where all their traces are lost. As a result, today there is a Jewish cemetery in Đakovo where arre buried Jews from Đakovo who died before 1941, as well as the victims of the concentration camp. Thanks to gravedigger Stjepan Kolb, these persons were buried with dignity, in a special coffin marked with their first and last name. It is the only such type of cemetery from the Holocaust era in the world, the Jewish Cemetery in Đakovo is a protected cultural property, registered in the Register of Cultural Property.
