The signing of the construction contract for the Holocaust Museum of Greece in Thessaloniki marks a historic milestone for a project of national and international significance. Following the successful completion of the public tendering process and preliminary works, the agreement between the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki and METKA S.A. signals the transition of the Museum from planning to implementation.

The realization of the Holocaust Museum of Greece has been made possible thanks to the decisive support of its major donors. Key contributors include the Greek Government, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), the Tavma Foundation, and the Genesis Prize Foundation, through a donation by Albert Bourla. With the essential and continuous engagement of the Municipality of Thessaloniki, which actively backs a project deeply embedded in the city’s historical and cultural identity, this sustained commitment has been instrumental in bringing the Museum from vision to reality.
