The opening chapter by Anna-Maria Droumpouki and Iason Chandrinos provides a wide and detailed chronicle of the milestones of the Greek Jewish genocide. The Jewish presence in Greece was long and varied. This variety was not only a consequence of diverse cultural origins - Greek-speaking Romaniotes settling there from antiquity, Ashkenazim and Hispanophone Sephardim - but likewise reflected different degrees of social and cultural integration into the general population; the huge regional differences in the Shoah survival percentages cannot be seen as accidental. The authors examine the three occupational zones and the respective differences and similarities; owing to this tripartite division of the country, the Nazis hesitated to apply anti-Jewish measures because they preferred a coordinated action by all occupation powers, whereas the Italians refused to cooperate. In early February 1943, a small SD (Sicherheitsdienst) taskforce, loyally supported by the military administration, started the countdown for Auschwitz. The authors provide an account of the destruction of the major Jewish communities. The chapter also examines such issues as the resistance rescue efforts and scrutinizes the existing statistics in terms of the prewar Jewish population and the death toll of the Holocaust.
