The Yad Lezikaron Synagogue was inaugurated in 1984. Dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust, it was built on the place of the "Plasa" Synagogue, also known as the "Market Synagogue". The ruins from synagogues that have been destroyed, such as the altar (from the Sarfati synagogue) and the marble bimah (from the Baron Hirsch synagogue) were used for its reconstruction. Inscriptions on marble slabs mention all the synagogues existed in the past in Thessaloniki. The Yad Lezicaron synagogue operates daily and has recently undergone a major renovation. An extensive renovation was recently undertaken in the central synagogue of the city, the Monastirioton synagogue that was inaugurated in 1927 and is located on Syggrou Street. The building , which is of particular architectural interest due to its Byzantine influences, operated as a warehouse during the Occupation, a fact that prevented its destruction.
