Upon completion of his term and before his departure from our country, the American Ambassador to Greece, George Tsunis, visited Thessaloniki on 10.1.2025.
He met with the President of KISE and the Thessaloniki Jewish Community, David Saltiel, at the community offices, and they discussed international developments, their many years of cooperation and key issues of Greek Jewry, including the Holocaust Museum and Eleftherias Square, for which Mr. Tsounis has repeatedly expressed interest.
The American ambassador's post on X is characteristic:
“It is always an honor to spend time with David Saltiel and the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki. We discussed the next steps for the Holocaust Museum and the redevelopment of Eleftherias Square as a space of remembrance and reflection. Together we preserve history and honor the resilience of an admirable community.”
