Breslau (Wrocław)

Silesia

Breslau (Polish Wrocław), the principal city of Silesia (today in southwestern Poland), had a large and influential Jewish community in the modern era. In 1854 it became home to the Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau, the first modern rabbinical seminary in Central Europe and a leading center of Wissenschaft des Judentums; its founding head was Rabbi Zacharias Frankel, the founder of the positive-historical school of Judaism.
