Jewish Communal Dynamics in Greek Thessaloniki

 

Abstract

While scholars often view the end of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of successor nation-states as one of sharp rupture, this talk explores the processes through which Ottoman imperial sensibilities and practices continued to shape the structure and dynamics of the Jewish Community of Salonica (Thessaloniki) and its relationship with the new Greek state. In the 1920s, during which the Jewish community lost some of its official powers with the creation of the Republic of Turkey, in the case of Greece, many of those Jewish communal powers were not only preserved but also further formalized in the name of the new European regime of "minority rights."
