“The historic heritage and legacy of Greek Jews weave a rich tapestry of cultural, economic, and intellectual contributions within the broader narrative of Hellenic history. Spanning from Ancient Hellenic, Hellenistic and Roman eras to the present day this legacy reflects both moments of harmonious coexistence and periods of challenges, highlighting the resilience of a community deeply embedded in the Hellenic tapestry”, said Lou Katsos, adding that “The preservation and celebration of this legacy underscore the interconnectedness of Greek history and the enduring threads of diversity that enrich the Hellenic nation, and what will be explored in this panel discussion”.
