KORTE INHOUD

Paperback, in-8, 525 pp., illustrations, bibliographical notes, bibliography, index.

"Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews 1430-1950" is a comprehensive historical narrative by Mark Mazower. The book explores the rich and complex history of the city of Salonica, now known as Thessaloniki, in Greece. Mazower delves into the city's past, from its capture by the Ottoman Turks in 1430 to its incorporation into Greece in 1912, and finally to the end of its Jewish community in the Holocaust. The book paints a vivid picture of a cosmopolitan city where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived side by side, creating a vibrant cultural and social mosaic. Mazower's work is a testament to the city's diversity and a poignant exploration of how this diversity was systematically destroyed in the 20th century.
