Greek-Jewish students lost in the Holocaust remembered in Thessaloniki

The 14th annual David Tiano lecture, established in memory of an American consulate staff member who was executed by Nazi occupation powers in February 1942, was dedicated this year to the Jewish students of Thessaloniki and of the Holocaust, at an event held in the city on Monday, ANA reports.

This year’s lecture was on “Mapping the Memory: Jewish students of Salonica in WWII and the Holocaust” and was delivered at the Leon Benmayor Hall of the Jewish Community by Angeliki Gavriiloglou and Christos Chadziioannidis, members of a joint research team of the Jewish Studies Chair of the University of Thessaloniki and of the Jewish Museum of the city. “Our purpose is to keep alive the memory of thousands of children who perished at the concentration camps,” they noted.
