Bowman's treatment of Salonika Zionists and efforts to get Jews into mandatory Palestine makes interesting reading . . . This book will certainly be the standard resource on the subject, at least for the foreseeable future.\" -- Sanford R.

Bowman's contribution to the understanding of each individual community's fate during the Holocaust and Greek Civil War is invaluable.\" -- Katerina Lagos * California State University, Sacramento, \u003ci\u003eEast European Jewish Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Despite the nearly total obliteration of Greek Jewry in World War II, the Holocaust in Greece has been virtually ignored in historical literature in the English language. Bowmans volume, based on decades of research and deep familiarity with the region, its complexities, and its personalities, is an important corrective to this great gap.\" -- Jane Gerber * CUNY Graduate Center *\u003cbr\u003e\"Bowman's excellent readable book utilizes the latest documentary research, including records from foreign archives only now being made public. The newly released documents confirm the horrors of a story only partially known, shedding light on a tragic episode in a remote part of the German occupation of Europe. The rich fabric of Jewish culture in Greece has never fully recovered . . . Highly recommended.\" -- E. N.

Steven Bowman's book is original because it looks at the experience of Greek Jews during World War II, not in isolation as in many other accounts, but in the context of the war in Greece . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Agony of Greek Jews\u003c\/i\u003e is a book rich in information.\" -- Rosine Nussenblatt * \u003ci\u003eSephardic Horizons\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Agony of Greek Jews\u003c\/i\u003e documents with meticulous attention to detail and a laudable ambition for breadth of coverage the stories of Jewish communities scattered across the territory of modern Greece at a time of rapid, often destabilizing, and eventually catastrophic change . . . \u003ci\u003eThe Agony of Greek Jews\u003c\/i\u003e is as much an impressive historical register of Jewish survival in Greece against the odds as it is a uniquely detailed archive of memory for all those who perished in the Nazi camps or lost their lives while fighting against the brutal occupying forces.\" -- Aristotle Kallis * \u003ci\u003eH-Judaic\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  @toc4:Preface\txx  Acknowledgments\txx  Abbreviations\txx  @toc2:Introduction\t1  1.\tThe Jews of Greece to World War I\t000  2.\tGermans and Jews in Greece\t000  3.\tIn Victory and Defeat\t000  4.\tVernichtungsorganisation\t000  5.\tChronicle of the Deportations\t000  6.\tAbnormal Deaths in a Foreign Land\t000  7.\tHow A a Remnant Survived\t000  8.\tFreedom or Death\t000  9.\tRelief and Rescue\t000  10.\tBitter Homecoming\t000  Afterword\t000  @toc4:Appendix: Numbers\t000  Notes\t000  Index\t000","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405568418135,"sku":"9780804755849","price":52.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804755849.jpg?v=1730492864","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-agony-of-greek-jews-1940a-1945-9780804755849","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
