Ioannina’s Jews
> Athens > To September 25
The Jewish Museum of Greece is hosting two temporary exhibitions organized in cooperation with the German Embassy. “The Jewish Community of Ioannina – The Memory of Objects” brings together photographic material and authentic exhibits from the museum’s collections that are being shown to the public for the first time, as well as privately owned heirlooms that testify to the history of Romaniote Jews in northwestern Greece. The second exhibition, “Joseph Eliya: Poet of the Lake,” is dedicated to the life and work of the eminent philosopher and poet. The aim of the shows is to shed light on one of Greece’s smallest yet oldest Jewish communities while also exploring its contribution to shaping local society. Opening hours are Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. Jewish Museum of Greece, 39 Nikis, Syntagma, tel 210.322.5582, www.jewishmuseum.gr
