Chalcis (Chalkida), in Euboea, is home to one of the oldest Romaniote communities in Greece, its Jewish presence dating back to Antiquity and mentioned in ancient sources. The community, of Romaniote tradition, maintained its own religious life and a synagogue, and always remained modest in size. During the German occupation of Greece in the Second World War, its members were targeted by the deportations; some managed to hide with the help of the Greek population and Resistance. A Jewish presence was maintained there after the war, and a synagogue as well as a cemetery still attest to its antiquity.
