Abstract:
Describes the situation of Cretan Jewry, a small community of 330 Jews in 1941, under Nazi occupation. Their deportation in May 1944 to Auschwitz by boat ended in its sinking and the death of 265 Jews. Examines evidence of the spread of antisemitic propaganda before and during the war and the anti-Jewish actions taken. Part 2 of the article intends to give a reliable eyewitness testimony of the period.
Note:
Appeared also in "In memoriam - Judith Humphrey" (1997).
