We are from Istanbul, Izmir, & Greece. Formerly Constantinople & Smyrna. Their lives tragically ended when Smyrna was destroyed by the Great Fire September 1922. I'd love to visit this very historical place of worship.

One correction. In Zakynthos 1943 were Mayor Loukas Karrer and Bishop Chrysostomos who saved the jews
