Monastirioton Synagogue

The only surviving one of Thessaloniki's 45 pre-WWII synagogues owes its preservation to the fact that it was used as a warehouse by the Red Cross. Spared by the Nazis, it nonetheless formed part of the ghetto before the eventual deportations of 1943. It is a solemn space that is worth visiting.
