Provides a multidisciplinary exploration of Salonica's Jewish-owned economy between the years 1912-1940, a period prior to and during Greece's national consolidation. This book presents the results of the author's comparative and inter-ethnic study of Jewish entrepreneurial patterns for three distinct historical periods and two levels of analysis.
Presents a provisory list of the names of Jews who were deported from Salonika to extermination camps, compiled from Greek and German files held on microfilm at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. These files are based on forms which the Germans ordered the Jews to fill out on 1 March 1943. Each entry presents the person's name, date of birth, names of spouse and children, and address in Salonika, and sometimes gives the profession. Pp. 437-535 present a list of Greek internees from the Auschwitz archives (based on microfilms from the U.S.H.M.M.), giving the same information with the addition of the date of arrest and date of arrival in Auschwitz.
Volume III examines the most well-known century of genocide, the twentieth century. Opening with a discussion on the definitions of genocide and 'ethnic cleansing' and their relationships to modernity, it continues with a survey of the genocide studies field, racism and antisemitism. The four parts cover the impacts of Racism, Total War, Imperial Collapse, and Revolution; the crises of World War Two; the Cold War; and Globalization. Twenty-eight scholars with expertise in specific regions document thirty genocides from 1918 to 2021, in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The cases range from the Armenian Genocide to Maoist China, from the Holocaust to Stalin's Ukraine, from Indonesia to Guatemala, Biafra, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda, and finally the contemporary fate of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and the ISIS slaughter of Yazidis in Iraq. The volume ends with a chapter on the strategies for genocide prevention moving forward.
