Routledge - The Holocaust in Thessaloniki History Book

Explore a profound historical account of the Jewish community in Thessaloniki during the Nazi occupation. This book from the Routledge Jewish Studies Series documents the final days of a once prominent community and their forced transport to the Auschwitz death camp in 1943. This work provides a detailed map of how different sectors of society responded as the anti-Jewish persecution unfolded. It examines the actions and reactions of local authorities, the Church, and civil society during these critical years. By looking at these groups, the text investigates whether the Christian society of the hometown attempted to defend their neighbors or object to Nazi orders. Using new sources and fresh interpretation schemes, this book offers a deep look into the social dynamics of the period. It is a significant resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Greece and the complex social responses to the Holocaust.
