Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews - Book by Mark Mazower

Name: Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews
Author: Mark Mazower

Mazower chronicles the vibrant, multi-ethnic history of Salonica (modern Thessaloniki), once a crossroads of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Through vivid storytelling, he portrays how the city thrived as a melting pot of cultures, only to face upheaval through wars, nationalism, and population exchanges. The book examines the coexistence and eventual fracturing of its diverse communities, driven by the pressures of modernity and intolerance. From Ottoman rule to its transformation into a Greek city, Mazower captures Salonica’s dramatic shifts, offering a poignant narrative about the fragility of multicultural harmony and the enduring scars of displacement.
