In 3rd century Tomis was inhabited by a small community of Jews. Jewish population increased in the 19th century. In Constanta, Jews had a more favorable situation than the other Jews of Romania. World War 2 brought mass arrests. Men and women were sent to forced labor. After 1941, Jews came back to a special district in Constanta. Today, approx 100 Jews live in Constanta, while 4000 in the whole country.
