Alexander
History
The Alexander family was a prominent Croatian Jewish family from Zagreb. Alexander family ancestors moved to Zagreb from Güssing in Austria. The family played an important role in the economic and social life of Zagreb and Croatia for over a hundred years. Until 1941 the Alexanders were a large clan rather than an ordinary family. The great-grandparents of the Zagreb Alexanders included Samuel and Julija (née Rubin) Alexander, who had five sons and several daughters. Counting both the deceased and still living members, including the descendants of the female line, there were 224 Alexanders over seven generations. Many family members perished during the Holocaust.
