The Rise, Fall and Reemergence of the Jewish Community in Indonesia
from Part iii - Southeast Asia: Colonial Legacies and Emerging Communities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2023
This chapter explores the life of Jews in Indonesia before and after its independence. Emerging in the nineteenth century, the local Jewish community thrived in small and remote settlements under the rule of Dutch colonialism and reached its apex in 1941 with the influx of European refugees. Many of the Jews were detained during the Japanese occupation and following the country’s independence, the vast majority of them migrated to other countries. Since the Reformation era (1998 onward), however, Indonesia has witnessed the emergence of new Jewish identification whose leaders and motives the chapter examines.
