The Jews of Vukovar settled in the city in the 19th century from other parts of the Habsburg monarchy.

[2] The first Vukovar synagogue was built in 1845 by architect Fran Funtak [hr].

[1] Almost all members of the city's Jewish community were killed during the Holocaust; including Rabbi Izrael Scher (also known as Izidor Šer, born 1901) and his wife, Klara (born 1906), both doctors, who were murdered at the Jasenovac concentration camp in July 1941.

[3][4][5][6] In 1958, communist authorities of the SFR Yugoslavia demolished the synagogue and sold the remaining ruins.
