People visiting a place like Athens are naturally drawn to the ancient ruins but this small, perfectly formed museum is definitely worth several hours of your time. Visit to learn about the community of Jews that thrived in Greece under the Ottomans and their shameful treatment at the hands of the Germans. I was especially moved to learn about Bishop... More

This museum is small but displays are tasteful and informative. See this museum to get an idea of Jewish life in all of Greece
