Photographs, documents and survivor interviews on Greek Jewry from liberation to the late 1970s, shown at the Bathhouse of the Winds in Plaka.
Więcej: Ateny
Among the postwar newsreels in this show is footage of Greek Jews emigrating and being held in refugee camps. For some, the end of the war meant a new kind of internment, in camps on Cyprus and in British Mandatory Palestine.
It is the first exhibition in Greece on what happened to Greek Jews after the Holocaust, from liberation to the late 1970s: rebuilding the communities with international aid, the civil war of 1946 to 1949, the choice between staying, the diaspora and Israel, and the founding of the Jewish Museum of Greece in 1977. You read short texts beside photographs, documents, personal items and press reports, and listen to survivors in excerpts from video interviews.
It is a show for reading and listening. The museum's own building is closed for renovation, so it runs at the Bathhouse of the Winds, Kyrristou 8 in Plaka, the only public bath in Athens still standing, alongside a small display of bathing objects. Open 9:30 to 16:30, closed Tuesdays, until 30 November.
