Before the Nazi occupation and the decimation of Greece's Jewish population, many of Greece's Jewish communities
traced their roots back to the Spanish Inquisition and before to Classical Greece. Art and artifacts from Jewish
communities through the ages, as well as documentation of the Holocaust makes this museum a cultural treasure.
