    1 The University of Hartford Research Group Project in Rhodes, Greece Preliminary Background Information Compiled by: Dr. Richard Freund, Maurice Greenberg Professor of Jewish History and Director, Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies, University of Hartford, Jon Gaynes and Ari Jacobson, videographers. A Short History of the Jews of Rhodes The history of the Jews of Rhodes goes back before the 2nd century BCE and is cited as a place where Jews had settled in the period of Maccabees before 172 BCE. Citing an earlier tradition, Josephus Flavius, the first century CE Jewish historian, mentions the Jews of Rhodes. One of the more significant stories about the Jews of Rhodes has to do with the Muslim conquest in the 7th century CE when the famed Colossus of Rhodes which had fallen down some 7 centuries earlier was dismantled and the Jews were assigned the task of exporting the metal covering overland to the Umayyad Syrian Caliphate. Jewish travelers in the Middle Ages mention the community. In the Crusades, the Jews of Rhodes was once again embroiled in the controversies between the Byzantine Empire and the Muslims. The Templars Knights and the Jews lived near one another in the area of the walls of the Old City of Rhodes during the Middle Ages. Later, the Jews are described as fierce defenders of the walled city (today called: Old Town) against the Turks in 1480. Under the Turkish Sultan Suleiman, the community prospered and many exiles from the 1492 expulsion from Spain came to live in Rhodes. The island was populated by ethnic groups from the surrounding nations, including Jews.

Executive Summary The goals of the Foundation in conducting this survey were manifold: we aimed to generate a comprehensive picture of the Jewish museum landscape across Europe, and to identify the most pressing issues, challenges and needs faced by these institutions. We wanted to learn about the mission, philosophy and methodology of Jewish museums, and better understand their role and position in the cultural and educational realm at large. We were also interested in the level of professionalization of Jewish museums, both in staff training, collection preservation and cataloguing, management, and the ways in which Jewish museums communicate and arrange partnerships with one another. With a better understanding of these issues, we want now to assess the resources needed and the funding priorities for the next five to ten years. The questionnaire was sent to 120 institutions in 34 countries and we received 64 completed forms from 30 countries. The questions addressed eleven broad topics: organisation, collections, permanent and temporary exhibitions,
