Memory register · custodian, not owner

Larissa, in Thessaly, was one of the oldest centers of Romaniote Judaism in Greece, with Jewish presence attested from very ancient times. The community, composed of long-established Romaniote families to which Sephardim were added under Ottoman rule, maintained a vibrant religious and cultural life. Its members were active in trade and crafts. During the German occupation of Greece in the Second World War, the community was targeted by the deportations that destroyed Greek Judaism, and a large portion of its members was murdered; a few survivors nonetheless allowed a Jewish presence to persist after the war.
