The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece on Monday congratulated Moses Elisaf for his election as a mayor of the city of Ioannina in northwestern Greece, ANA reports.
Elisaf’s mayoral success is of historical significance, noted the Jewish board, as “the Israeli Community in Ioannina was almost completely exterminated during the Holocaust, when some 2,000 local Greek Jews met a horrific death in Nazi concentration camps.” It added, “75 years later, in the same city, a descendant of Holocaust survivors is elected mayor.”
