Anti-Semitism in interwar Greece. The ΕΕE and the Campbell arson

Description:
Abstract:
fter 1912 when Thessaloniki became part of the Greek state, the large Jewish community of the city turned into a minority. The great fire of 1917 drove especially poor Jews out of the city center into peripheral settlements, neighboring after 1922 with the newly settled refugees. Competitions in the market and labor fields that developed after the arrival of the refugees formed the economic basis of the development of anti-Semitism in the city. The arson of the impoverished Jewish settlement of Campbell and the fascist EEE, which enjoyed the acceptance and support of the economic and political elites, characterized the period. Although the Metaxas dictatorship did not have a clear anti-Semitic policy, the anti-Semitic protagonists of the pogroms were integrated into the August 4 regime and continued their activities during the period of Nazi occupation.
