More than 80 years have passed since the Third Reich orchestrated the death convoys that would see an estimated 50,000 of the city’s men, women and children killed in Nazi concentration camps.

About 90% of Thessaloniki 's prewar Jewish population fell victim to the final solution’ The eight -storey, octagonal-shaped Holocaust museum is due to be completed in 2026 .

The 9,000-sq ft museum is not only a belated tribute to those who suffered in Thessaloniki at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators.

It will also celebrate the history of Greek Jewry, including the 39 other Jewish communities that, prewar, were dotted around Greece .

Greece ’s centre-right government has pledged to contribute to the museum.
