Download or read book The Agony of Greek Jews, 1940–1945 written by Steven B. Bowman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Agony of Greek Jews tells the story of modern Greek Jewry as it came under the control of the Kingdom of Greece during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In particular, it deals with the vicissitudes of those Jews who held Greek citizenship during the interwar and wartime periods. Individual chapters address the participation of Greek and Palestinian Jews in the 1941 fighting with Italy and Germany, the roles of Jews in the Greek Resistance, aid, and rescue attempts, and the problems faced by Jews who returned from the camps and the mountains in the aftermath of the German retreat. Bowman focuses on the fate of one minority group of Greek citizens during the war and explores various aspects of its relations with the conquerors, the conquered, and concerned bystanders. His book contains new archival material and interviews with survivors. It supersedes much of the general literature on the subject of Greek Jewry.

Download or read book The Holocaust in Greece written by Giorgos Antoniou and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the sizeable Jewish community living in Greece during the 1940s, German occupation of Greece posed a distinct threat. The Nazis and their collaborators murdered around ninety percent of the Jewish population through the course of the war. This new account presents cutting edge research on four elements of the Holocaust in Greece: the level of antisemitism and question of collaboration; the fate of Jewish property before, during, and after their deportation; how the few surviving Jews were treated following their return to Greece, especially in terms of justice and restitution; and the ways in which Jewish communities rebuilt themselves both in Greece and abroad. Taken together, these elements point to who was to blame for the disaster that befell Jewish communities in Greece, and show that the occupation authorities alone could not have carried out these actions to such magnitude without the active participation of Greek Christians.

Download or read book The Holocaust in Thessaloniki written by Leon Saltiel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book narrates the last days of the once prominent Jewish community of Thessaloniki, the overwhelming majority of which was transported to the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz in 1943. Focusing on the Holocaust of the Jews of Thessaloniki, this book maps the reactions of the authorities, the Church and the civil society as events unfolded. In so doing, it seeks to answer the questions, did the Christian society of their hometown stand up to their defense and did they try to undermine or object to the Nazi orders? Utilizing new sources and interpretation schemes, this book will be a great contribution to the local efforts underway, seeking to reconcile Thessaloniki with its Jewish past and honour the victims of the Holocaust. The first study to examine why 95 percent of the Jews of Thessaloniki perished—one of the highest percentages in Europe—this book will appeal to students and scholars of the Holocaust, European History and Jewish Studies. Recipient of the 2021 Vashem Yad International Book Prize for Holocaust Research. "In view of the important contribution that this study makes to the understanding of the Holocaust in Thessaloniki in particular and, more broadly, in Greece, [...] the International Committee for the Yad Vashem Book Prize decided to award the 2021 prize to Dr. Leon Saltiel."

Download or read book A History of the Jews in Macedonia written by Aleksandar Matkovski and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Jews in the entire area of Macedonia, including Vardar Macedonia (the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia) and parts of Macedonia belonging to Greece and Bulgaria. Ch. 5 (p. 88-96), "The Onset of Nazism and the Second World War", discusses briefly German antisemitism in the 19th-20th centuries, the war, and the Holocaust. Ch. 7 (p. 108-206), "The Deportation and Liquidation of the Jews of Macedonia", describes anti-Jewish measures of Bulgarian authorities in Vardar Macedonia, including economic restrictions and the return of Serbian Jewish refugees to German-occupied Serbia. Dwells on the deportation of Jews by the Bulgarians from Vardar Macedonia and Aegean Macedonia to Treblinka in March 1943. The deportation from Vardar Macedonia was preceded by the establishment of a detention camp in Skopje, where ca. 7,300 Jews were interned. Dwells also on the deportation of Jews from Salonika. Contends that the Bulgarians did not permit the Germans to deport the Bulgarian Jews, because in 1943 Germany already was loosing the war, and Bulgarian leaders sought a way out of the cul-de-sac of their partnership with the Nazis. Only the Italians in their occupation zone in Vardar Macedonia were able to protect the Jews.

Download or read book The Origins of the Holocaust written by Michael Robert Marrus and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition is the first of its kind to offer a basic collection of facsimile, English language, historical articles on all aspects of the extermination of the European Jews. A total of 300 articles from 84 journals and collections allows the reader to gain an overview of this field. The edition both provides access to the immense, rich array of scholarly articles published after 1960 on the history of the Holocaust and encourages critical assessment of conflicting interpretations of these horrifying events. The series traces Nazi persecution of Jews before the implementation of the "Final Solution", demonstrates how the Germans coordinated anti-Jewish activities in conquered territories, and sheds light on the victims in concentration camps, ending with the liberation of the concentration camp victims and articles on the trials of war criminals. The publications covered originate from the years 1950 to 1987. Included are authors such as Jakob Katz, Saul Friedländer, Eberhard Jäckel, Bruno Bettelheim and Herbert A. Strauss.

Download or read book How the Jews Defeated Hitler written by Benjamin Ginsberg and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most common assumptions about World War II is that the Jews did not actively or effectively resist their own extermination at the hands of the Nazis. In this powerful book, Benjamin Ginsberg convincingly argues that the Jews not only resisted the Germans but actually played a major role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The question, he contends, is not whether the Jews fought but where and by what means. True, many Jews were poorly armed, outnumbered, and without resources, but Ginsberg shows persuasively that this myth of passivity is solely that--a myth. Instead, the Jews resisted strongly in four key ways: through their leadership role in organizing the defense of the Soviet Union, their influence and scientific research in the United States, their contribution to allied espionage and cryptanalysis, and their importance in European resistance movements. In this compelling, cogent history, we discover that Jews contributed powerfully to Hitler's defeat.

Download or read book Kaddish for Kovno written by William W. Mishell and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a personal account of one man's unforgettable odyssey through the hell of the Holocaust, and a rare firsthand document to the 20th century's most mournful tragedy. The kaddish is a prayer for the dead and Mishell documents in passionate detail the creation, and then the obliteration, of ghetto Kovno, in Lithuania, during the Nazi occupation of World War II. It illuminates the indomitable human spirit as the Jews of Kovno secured food, smuggled children to safety, set up hospitals, and even organized an orchestra in the face of numbing deprivations and brutality.

Book excerpt: The memoir that inspired Roman Polanski's Oscar-winning film, which won the Cannes Film Festival's most prestigious prize—the Palme d'Or. Named one of the Best Books of 1999 by the Los Angeles Times On September 23, 1939, Wladyslaw Szpilman played Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor live on the radio as shells exploded outside—so loudly that he couldn't hear his piano. It was the last live music broadcast from Warsaw: That day, a German bomb hit the station, and Polish Radio went off the air. Though he lost his entire family, Szpilman survived in hiding. In the end, his life was saved by a German officer who heard him play the same Chopin Nocturne on a piano found among the rubble. Written immediately after the war and suppressed for decades, The Pianist is a stunning testament to human endurance and the redemptive power of fellow feeling.
