Scope and Content

The archival material covers the 19th and 20th centuries and includes the proceedings and decisions taken by the Metropolitan Council; general correspondence with the Greek authorities, foreign consulates, local ecclesiastical councils, other religious communities, as well as the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki and individuals. Among other topics are the relations with the Jewish community and cases of conversion to Christianity or Judaism before and during the Second World War. An important topic is the case of the Jewish Cemetery and the attitude of the Metropolitan Council towards the Holocaust. Because of the war or for other reasons, archival materials, such as the volume of the proceedings of the Metropolitan Council from September 1942 until the end of the German Occupation in October 1944, were not found.
