In a unanimous decision issued this morning (6.5.2025), the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) fully vindicated the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki (IKTH), after a long dispute with the Greek State, over the ownership of a building block in the center of Thessaloniki. Although it was part of a much larger area that had been expropriated in favor of the Jewish Community in 1920, for the housing of fire victims, the Greek State claimed half of the disputed property (four acres in total), arguing that, as it had previously belonged to an Italian citizen, it had come into its possession as an enemy, after the declaration of war, on 28.10.1940.
