Extract: »We open the chapter by discussing social practices and intimacy in the prewar Jewish community in Greece. Then, we zoom into the wartime harassment of Jewish life before and after the deportations. Since out of 58,000 deported Jews merely 2,000 survived, and most of them were from Thessaloniki, the Jewish community of Thessaloniki will be at the core of our case study. Influenced by the postwar East-West division and Greek state policy, which became fiercely anticommunist, especially in the context of the Greek Civil War (1946–1949), Greece cultivated an anti-Left and anti-Soviet narrative for decades. This is not to say that there were no incidents of sexualized violence committed by Soviet soldiers against Jews of Greece (such as the case of Palomba Allalouf ) or that it was easier to speak about such acts, but to better understand the historical facts. Since the Soviet army did not operate on Greek territory—in fact, the Greeks liberated themselves, or rather the Wehrmacht withdrew from Greece in the autumn of 1944 without the physical presence of foreign liberation armies—no Soviet violence could have taken place in Greece on the ground. Therefore, alongside the specific case of Malchow, we examine various categories of perpetrators who sexually assaulted Jewish women from Thessaloniki, like Palomba, during the war—including Jewish guards in the Baron Hirsch transit camp and German personnel in the concentration camps.« (Source: Article, p. 329)
