The journal was founded in 1932 by Daniel Brick[2] and Simon Brick.[3] Judisk Tidskrift and the journal had high readership levels among the Jewish origin Swedes during the 1940s and 1950s.[3] Judisk Krönika published continuously about anti-Jewish developments from early 1933 and throughout the entire period of Nazi terror.[4]
In 1979, the Jewish assemblies and Jewish organizations in Sweden took over responsibility for the magazine, which then became the main information channel of Judaism in Sweden.[2] In 1988, Stiftelsen Judisk Krönika ("Judisk Krönika Foundation") was founded, which functions as the publisher.[2]
