The town information center has copies, in English, of a pamphlet written by local historian Dr Jan Bransky, "The Boskovice Jewish Ghetto Sights." It locates and describes nearly 30 houses, the synagogue, the mikvah, the hospice, yeshivah, the butcher shops and some of the history of the thousands of Jewish families who lived and worked in these buildings.

Note: that in Czech the word for birth is denoted by "R" (czech -rodin), for marriages by "O" (czech- oddovkova) and deaths by "Z" (czech-zatracemi), so that's how the register describes each section.
Some of the registers have an index at the back, for others one must look at every entry. For Boskovice, many of the registers were destroyed either by fire or during World War II.
