Jewish Community of Larisa
Description
The Jewish community of Larissa
was and continues being on of the
largest in the country, references
of the community dating back 2000
years ago, during the Roman times.
During WWII the community suffered
a tragic loss with more than one-
third of its population being
arrest and taken to concentration
camps by Nazi’s or elsewere, in
order to be executed sooner than
later. After the occupation was
over, the community came to be
reinstated through the years but
never reached it’s original
population before the war.(1120

respected traditional community in

Practical information
Reviews
When visiting the Jewish Community
of Larissa one can enter the
synagogue, something quite distant
to Greek culture. It is a great
opportunity to meet and learn
about the history of the community
that has been around since the
creation of the city. We came to
direct contact with the history of
the community during World War 2
and especially during the German
Occupation. And lastly we were
informed of the constant events
that are around the community
