Institution : Jewish Museum of Greece
The digital collections of the Jewish Museum of Greece comprise more than 13,500 items documenting the history and cultural heritage of Greek Jewry, spanning a continuous presence of over 2,300 years. The material encompasses a wide range of resources, including archival documents, manuscripts, books, photographs, and audiovisual material, as well as objects of everyday life, costumes, textiles, and personal belongings. Particular emphasis is placed on collections of religious artifacts, community archives—such as that of the Jewish community of Patras—and materials related to the Holocaust and the Second World War.
