In the 19th century, the Jewish community of Kastoria consisted of 2,000 members. It was an integral part of Kastorian society those days. This community does not exist today, the Holocaust gave a violent end to that part of the town’s history.

Oblivion embraced this part of the history, that's why keeping the memory alive is a necessity. If we allow this history to be forgotten, we will obliterate this Jewish community once more, this time in people’s minds.

Please help us keep the memory alive of the Jewish Community of Kastoria and the thirty-six Jews from this town who survived the Holocaust by planting trees with us in Israel.

Our goal is to plant a Grove of Trees which is 1,000 Trees in the Eshkol region in Southern Israel through Jewish National Fund-USA.
