Jewish Cemetery Destroyed by Greeks NOT GERMANS.
The story of a Jewish cemetry in Salonika. The Greeks in Salonika had always regarded the huge Jewish cemetery as a barrier to the expansion of the University in the city. It also reminded them of the Turkish occupation of their city, as the Jews had worked with the Turks to massacre Christians. Attempts were made to buy the area, but they were refused. By the time of the WW2, the City Council, Chamber of Commerce, and University successfully applied to the Government to get the area reclaimed.
