In this enchanting and moving memoir, Leon Sciaky describes his
childhood before the FirstWorld War in a prosperous, loving Jewish
family in the cosmopolitan city of Salonica (nowThessaloniki in
Greece). Under the Ottoman Empire, the city's diverse communities -
Jews,Muslim Turks, Orthodox Greeks and Bulgarians - met, traded and
lived alongside each otherday-to-day in an atmosphere of
tolerance.Farewell to Salonica offers a fascinating insight into a
lost society in which an older tradition ofmutual respect was
finally overcome by the pressures of nationalism and war, the
after-effects ofwhich are felt in the region to this day.
