Perhaps in no other European country does the Jewish presence exhibit such diversity and interest as in Greece. The first traces of it can be detected as far back as antiquity. It is likely that these are the oldest Jewish communities on European soil. Hellenized Romaniotes, Sephardim from the western Mediterranean, and Ashkenazim from Central Europe create a unique and colorful mosaic of communities, each of which is an integral piece featuring its own fascinating history.

Thessaloniki as the Jerusalem of the Balkans, Ioannina as the capital of the Romaniotes, Chania, Corfu, Rhodes, Didymoteicho, Chalkida, Komotini, Larissa, Volos, Kavala, Athens—all together and each community separately emerge as inseparable parts of Hellenism and the rich history of the country.

For the first time, an effort is being made to present scientifically in Greek literature a complete and comprehensive picture of the history of the Jews of Greece, through testimonies, photographs, poems, and songs from the moment they appeared in the Greek space until the Holocaust and beyond.

There is also an attempt to highlight the full extent of the contribution of Greek Jews to the economic, cultural, spiritual, and political life of Greece, as well as to "reveal" the golden and dark pages of the coexistence of Greek Jews with Christians.
