    adrienne kriezelman:

    “

    My maternal grandmother was from Rhodes (Estrea Benatar) and she married Solomon Alhadeff from Istanbul. We will be in Rhodes on Sat. Nov. 7th (our cruise ship stops there) and I was wondering if it would be at all possible to go to the Jewish Museum, synagogue and/or cemetery as I noticed that there were Alhadeff and Benatar tombstones that were found there. Thank you.
