Salonica: City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims, and Jews 1430-1950
By Mark Mazower
Salonica was once a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, home to a diverse population of Christians, Muslims, and Jews. But in the 20th century, the city's Jewish community was decimated by the Holocaust, and its Muslim population was largely expelled. Today, Salonica is a shadow of its former self, a city haunted by its past.
In his book Salonica: City of Ghosts, Mark Mazower tells the fascinating and tragic story of this city's rise and fall. Mazower draws on a wealth of archival research to bring to life the people who lived in Salonica, from the wealthy Jewish merchants to the poor Muslim laborers. He also explores the city's complex political and religious history, from its Ottoman past to its annexation by Greece in 1912.
