Ioannina
– The exterior of the Synagogue of Ioannina was found by local Jewish Community
members desecrated with swastikas graffiti. The authorities were notified. The
Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece issued the following
announcement:
Vandal
racists defaced with swastikas the exterior of the surrounding wall of the
historic Synagogue of Ioannina, situated in the old walled city, the Kastro
(Castle). Vandals drew swastikas also in some houses of the surrounding area.
The
Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece expressed the Greek Jewry’s
repudiation for this hideous act and urged the competent authorities to work
for the arrest of the perpetrators as well as for the adequate protection of
the Synagogue so as to contain such incidents that stain the image of the city
of Ioannina.
