Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims, and Jews, 1430-1950 | Mark Mazower

1 post | 3 read | 1 to read

A vivid narrative history captures the multicultural world of Salonica, from its heyday as a Byzantine port, through its role as a progressive center of the Ottoman Empire, to its occupation during World War II by the Nazis, revealing how its position as a center of progressive equality among diverse cultures and religions was gradually eroded, culminating in the Nazis' destruction of its Jewish inhabitants. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.

Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims, and Jews, 1430-1950 | Mark Mazower

so-so

Interesting history of crossroads of religious traditions & populations. Salonica (now Thessaloniki): thriving trade center & pluralist society of diverse cultures. Jews fleeing Spanish Inquisition, Muslims & Christians sharing power. Transition from Ottoman Empire to nation-states: harsh & heartbreaking Greco-Turkish population exchange of 1923 = violent, forced migration, war. 1940s Jewish deportation. Personal histories of societal change.2004
