SUMMARY:Between the Ottoman Empire and Modern Greece: The Fate of Salonica 
DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. Devin E. Naar, University of Washington. From 
 1492 until the twentieth century, the city 
 of Salonica--once part of the Ottoman Empire 
 and today the second biggest city in Greece--was 
 home to the largest community of Ladino-speaking 
 Sephardic Jews in the world. This talk 
 focuses on how this once-thriving Jewish 
 community grappled with the collapse of the Ottoman 
 Empire and the rise of modern Greece prior 
 to the devastation of the Holocaust. Dr. 
 Devin E. Naar is Isaac Alhadeff Professor of 
 Sephardic Studies and Associate Professor of 
 History and Jewish Studies at the University 
 of Washington.\n\n
