The image displays an indoor museum exhibit at The Jewish Museum of Greece in Athens, featuring a glass display case with historical artifacts and accompanying information panels. The central display case contains several items related to the Capon-Minerbo-Albert families. These include a framed black and white wedding photograph of Mazaltov-Mafalda Minerbo and Benjamin Isaac Capon (Piraeus, April 1940), where Mafalda is depicted wearing a pearl headgear and collar. Also visible are a Greek marriage certificate for the couple (April 1940), an Art Deco brooch set with crystals (1930s), small glass bonbonnieres from the weddings of Eleonora (1934) and Alberto (1938) Minerbo, a seed pearl necklace (1938), and a personal letter from Benjamin Capon to his wife (Thessaloniki, September 1940). To the right, an information panel details each artifact. Below this, a family tree illustrates the lineage of various individuals, including Dorothea Pasquale Albert (1880-1934), Moissis Abraham Minerbo (1864-1938), Mazaltov Mafalda Minerbo (1909-2002), and Benjamin Isaac Capon (1912-1996), noting their birth/death years and locations like Chania, Zakynthos, Piraeus, and Thessaloniki. A partial panel on the left, titled "JEWS OF CRETE," refers to items donated by the Capon-Minerbo-Albert families, such as copies of newspaper advertisements for local businesses ("Bon Marché," "Panellinios"), and various personal items like decoration for clothing, handmade cotton needle lace from Crete, buckles, clasps, buttons, stick pins, powder cases, and a decorative glass container. The museum's contact information (39 Nikis str., 105 57 Athens, Greece, with phone, fax, email, and website) is displayed at the top right. A courtesy message at the bottom states, "THIS CARD TO ITS PLACE, AS A COURTESY TO THE NEXT VISITOR. THANK YOU." The exhibit offers a glimpse into the history and personal lives of Jewish families in Greece.
