Presents the memoirs of three eminent members of the Jewish community of Salonika. The advocate Yomtov Yacoel (or Giomtōv Giakoel) tried in 1942-early 1943 to negotiate with Nazi civilian representatives on the issue of Jewish forced labor and other issues; he died in 1944 in Auschwitz. Dr. Isaac Aaron Matarasso describes (in 1948) the ghetto of Salonika and deportations to the Nazi camps. His manuscript includes statistics on the deportations from Salonika, the number of Jews from all of Greece who perished in the Holocaust, three investigations into the fate of some Salonikan Jews during the Holocaust, and an investigation into medical experiments in Auschwitz, as well as the study by Mentes M. Molho "Assets of Jews of Salonika" (pp. 212-231). The businessman Salomon Mair Usiel describes (in 1953) the attempts of the Community Council to alleviate the fate of Salonika's Jews in 1942-43; after the war he was accused of collaboration with the Germans. All three authors also describe the first Nazi anti-Jewish measures in Salonika (the census of Jews, confiscations of Jewish property, resettlements, etc.). Pp. 1-22 contain an introduction by Bowman.
