Les Juifs de Kastoria

Kastoria, in Greek Macedonia, housed an old Romaniote community, whose presence is attested long ago in this city renowned for its fur industry. The Jews of Kastoria distinguished themselves precisely in the manufacture and trade of furs, an activity that gave them a distinctive economic identity. Sephardic contributions were added to the Romaniote component over time. During German occupation in 1944, almost the entire community was arrested and then deported to Nazi extermination camps, with almost no survivors.
