flag Poland returns 91 Nazi-looted Jewish artifacts from Thessaloniki to Greece, marking first such restitution by Poland.

flag Poland has returned 91 Jewish religious artifacts looted by the Nazis from synagogues in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1941, to Greece, marking the first time it has repatriated items taken from another country during the Holocaust. flag The objects, including Torah scrolls and ceremonial finials, were hidden in Poland after the war and later stored in Warsaw’s Jewish Historical Institute. flag Greece formally requested their return in 2024, leading to their transfer to the Jewish Museum of Greece in Athens. flag The restitution follows advocacy by the World Jewish Restitution Organization and highlights ongoing challenges in Holocaust-era reparations, especially in Poland, which lacks comprehensive legislation for such claims.
