The latest terror attack of the organization of the “Islamic State” in Hadera, in Northern Israel, just a few days after the deadly attack in Beersheba, indicates the outburst of religious fanaticism and hatred against Jews on the very day of the historic meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Israel, Egypt, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Morocco. 

Once more the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece condemns Islamic extremism and terrorism targeting innocent civilians. Fanaticism -wherever it derives from- on the pretext of the intentionally distorted religious commands, fuels hatred, arms the hands of the murderers and perpetrates the blood cycle, while undermining perspectives of peace and prosperity in the region.

The series of exhibitions entitled “In the same city. Christians and Jews in Thessaloniki” was inaugurated in the afternoon of Sunday March 20, 2022, at the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki, by the Greek Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni. As Mrs. Mendoni stressed in her speech “the Jewish Museum and its collections will be the core of the collections of the Holocaust Museum of Greece in Thessaloniki, which the government aims to do as soon as possible”. “We want it to become reality so that it houses not only the memory, but also the history and the cultural identity of the Jewish community, because we owe it to our homeland, to Greece, to Thessaloniki, but especially to all those who were lost, because there were many who got on the train and never returned,” the Minister said.
