Description & Specifications

Before World War II, more than 79,000 Jews lived in Greece in 31 communities, which had been functioning since ancient times in almost all urban centers of the country. After the Holocaust, 87% of Greek Jews were exterminated, and fewer than 5,000 people remained in the country, who today are members of the eight Jewish communities that were saved. The book examines the reasons why the annihilation of Greek Jews was expelled from national memory and history. The attitude of the state towards them is explored, as well as the various roles adopted by their fellow citizens during the Occupation, as well as during the Liberation. Many of the myths of public history are overturned, which for decades claimed that all Christians helped the Jews unanimously and that, apart from the Nazis, the only ones to blame for this unpunished crime were the victims themselves and their leaders. All of the above are documented by the presentation of published and archival sources of history, oral history, and memory. Some of these sources are commented on in detail. Others, such as the correspondence of the authorities and the legislation of the Greek state, which confirm the exploitation and looting of Jewish properties, are published intact in two appendices at the end of the book.
