Imprints and Memories of Jews in Modern Thessaloniki: An analysis of the causes why the city hides its past
Författare
Summary, in English
Thessaloniki is a city with a very rich and multicultural history. Among the different groups of people living in the city for centuries, the largest one was the group of the Sephardi Jews. Unfortunately, in modern Thessaloniki the rich Jewish past is not that evident. Aim of this thesis is to search for imprints and memories of the Jewish past in today's city and tries to unfold the reasons why Thessaloniki seems to have hidden its past. As we find out, there are a few imprints and memories remaining and the reasons of concealment prove to be multifaceted.
