The publication The Songs of the Holocaust of the Greek Jews presents for the first time, in one volume and recorded, the songs written by the Greek Jews during the Holocaust.
The material emerged after many years of research by the soprano Mariangela Hadjistamatiou through the testimonies of survivors, through the Holocaust bibliography, as well as through the archive of the Israelite Community of Thessaloniki. The songs, or rather their lyrics, work like capsules of information that enclose the world as these people saw it in the darkest moments of their existence.

Tribute to a special personality of Xanthi
This year, 80 years have passed since the liberation on that day of March 3-4, 1943, when the Bulgarian Occupation Army, following orders from their German allies, arrested Greek Jews, in Anat. Macedonia and Thrace.
From the Israelite Community of Xanthi, which numbered approximately 550 members, no one managed to escape and return. They were all taken to the Treblinka concentration camps in Poland, where they were exterminated!
In all this tragic situation and development that the Jews of Xanthi were experiencing, 3 people managed to escape and survive the Holocaust, officially.
Ο Yehuda Chaim Perachia, who was not in Xanthi at the time of the arrest but in Kavala, o Ziak Kazes, who had been arrested earlier, at an earlier time, together with his partner David Attas and had been imprisoned in the interior of Bulgaria, in Kirzhali, on the charge of listening to the radio and the Alberto Gioia, of Samuel and Clara, who at that time was towards Thessaloniki and in rebel groups.
The Thessaloniki of the occupation is perhaps the only place in Greece that combines such tragic events with such strong doses of inhumanity. An entire community with a centuries-old presence is being uprooted and killed in the Nazi crematoria; willing collaborators and friends of the Germans seize their properties; common criminal law bastards command as proxies for the occupiers; and when Greece is free again, as if by magic all this syrfetos falls into the "soft".
