Greek Jewry and the Fourth of August Regime, 1936-1941
Category: metaxa greek
This book delves into a period that has traditionally been overlooked, focusing on how Greek Jews were treated during the dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas in the years leading up to the Second World War. Many people believe that Metaxas and his fascist ideology were responsible for the deaths of almost 86% of Greek Jews during the Holocaust. However, the situation in Greece was much more complex. In fact, Metaxas often tried to suppress anti-Semitism through his policies. The Fourth of August Regime and Greek Jewry, 1936-1941 examines the ways in which the Jewish population fit into Metaxas's vision for Greece, or didn't fit at all. By utilizing previously unpublished archival sources and testimonies from Holocaust survivors, this book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the study of Greek history, the history of Greek anti-Semitism, and provides insight into the attitudes towards Jews during the interwar period.
