Memory register · custodian, not owner

Volos, a port in Thessaly, was home to a Jewish community comprising an ancient Romaniote component as well as Sephardim, active in trade, notably maritime trade. The community had synagogues and institutions and participated in the life of the city. During the occupation of Greece in the Second World War, a portion of the Jews of Volos escaped deportation thanks to warnings and the assistance of the Greek population and Resistance, as well as local civil and religious authorities, many managing to hide in surrounding villages. Despite losses, a notable portion of the community survived, and a Jewish presence was maintained there after the war.
