Description

The Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) presents a virtual program, "The Destruction of Salonica's Jewish Community: The First Hand Account of Dr. Albert Menache." Although less well known than events in Poland and France, Greek Jews suffered the highest mortality rates of any country attacked by the Nazis in WWII. Dr. Joe Halio, the president of the Foundation of Advancement of Sephardic Studies and Culture, will draw from a recently republished first-hand account by Dr. Albert Menache to explore the destruction of this center of Sephardic life and culture.
