| Summary: | The Holocaust in Greece involved multiple actors. The German invasion in spring 1941 established three occupations regimes, Germans in the strategic areas of central Macedonia, Athens and Thessaloniki, Italians all over Greece apart from Crete and Bulgarians in eastern Macedonia and Thrace. For the sizeable Jewish community, these occupations posed a mortal threat. Despite the lack of credible statistics, a generally acknowledged number on the prewar Greek Jewish population is between 72,000-77,000, the Jews from Dodecanese included, albeit as Italian citizens. Some 50,000 of them resided in Thessaloniki. |
