Following the Axis invasion of Greece, the Nazis began persecuting
the country’s Jews much as they had across the rest of occupied
Europe, beginning with small indignities and culminating in mass
imprisonment and deportations. Among the many Jews confined to the
Thessaloniki ghetto during this period were Sarina Saltiel,
Mathilde Barouh, and Neama Cazes—three women bound for Auschwitz
who spent the weeks before their deportation writing to their sons.
Do Not Forget Me brings together these remarkable pieces of
correspondence, shocking accounts of life in the ghetto with an
emotional intensity rare even by the standards of Holocaust
testimony.
