Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki

Located on Agiou Mina Street in Central Macedonia, the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki honours the history of Sephardic Judaism that took root in the city after the 15th century. The collection includes remains of a destroyed Israeli necropolis, parts of Jewish synagogues destroyed during Nazi occupation, rare books in Hebrew, religious artefacts, costumes, and several personal belongings of Jewish citizens, including letters sent during World War 2.

There is a separate exhibit focused solely on the Holocaust, commemorating the 49,000 Jews who were transported to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen from Thessaloniki. The museum opened in May of 2001 after Andreas Sefiha, the then-president of the Jewish Community in Thessaloniki, proposed the idea in around 1994. In 2019, four new spaces were added, including a souvenir shop and an information centre. The building itself predates the museum and at different times, served as the offices for the Bank of Athens and the Jewish newspaper L'Independant.
