Le passage des barbares : contribution a l'histoire de la déportation et de la résistance des juifs grecs

A collection of testimonies by Greek Jewish Holocaust survivors interviewed by the author between 1959-1971. Of the 75,000 Jews living in 24 communities in Greece, 60,000 were deported in 1943. The most important community, in Salonika, had 56,000 Jews. Only 1,900 survived. The testimonies describe persecution under the Nazi military regime (headed by Max Merten who was tried in Athens in 1959 and sentenced to 25 years of forced labor, but served only six months), the deportations to Auschwitz and their experiences there, and Jewish participation in the Greek resistance. 2e éd. 151 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm
