| Summary: | Ninety percent of Greece's prewar Jewish population of 75,000 to 80,000 perished in the Nazi Holocaust. Steven Bowman argues in his recent monograph that public memory of Greek Jews as victims has overshadowed the memory of Greek Jewish armed resistance in occupied Greece. The history of the Warsaw ghetto uprising and of partisan resistance in Eastern Europe has received wide attention but, as Bowman states, the story of the Greek Jewish armed resistance is “virtually unknown” (p. xiii). His purpose is “to shed light on the fate of one Jewry” in a country that welcomed Jews into the fight against the Axis invasion and occupation (p. xvii). |
