Book Historical Dictionary of North Macedonia

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of North Macedonia written by Dimitar Bechev and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located in the middle of the Balkans, North Macedonia reflects the turbulent history of the region. The country emerged from former Yugoslavia in the 1990s without violence but struggled to achieve international recognition due to a dispute with neighboring Greece over its name and symbols. The name issue was resolved only in 2018 with the signature of the Prespa Agreement reviving prospects for membership in NATO and the European Union (EU). Yet North Macedonia’s story goes centuries back, to the Middle Ages, the period of Ottoman Rule which lasted until 1912, and the various reincarnations of Yugoslavia. The historical dictionary traces the country’s past and present with a wealth of articles on issues, events, institutions, personalities shaping political, economic and cultural life. It looks at the majority Macedonian as well as other ethnic communities such as the Albanians, Turks and the Roma. There are also entries on North Macedonia’s relations with neighbors, in history and today, as well as with global powers. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of North Macedonia contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about North Macedonia.

Download or read book Tide and Wreck written by G'eni Lebel and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, which is the result of more than 30 years of research, is a detailed history of Vardar Macedonian Jews until the Final Solution in Treblinka. Until now there has been a Hebrew edition published in 1986 and a Serbian one in 1990. This English version is an expanded one, much more comprehensive and enriched with material found in new documents and presented in a clear manner. Existing and available documents in sources in many languages have been consulted, as can be seen in Bibliography at the end of the book. This is the first time there is an English-language version of the story of the Macedonian Jews. This book will be of interest not only to the descendants of Macedonian Jews who live in the United States and in other English-speaking countries who are looking for information on their ancestry, but will also be welcomed by a wider audience. Tide and Wreck is dedicated to the Jews of ex-Yugoslavia, especially to those who lived in Macedonia for centuries until their tragic end in the Holocaust. The wounds have never healed, but this book is helping to repay at least some of the debt to their memory."--Publisher description.

  • Author : Giorgos Antoniou
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2018-11-01
  • ISBN : 1108679951
  • Pages : 397 pages

Download or read book The Holocaust in Greece written by Giorgos Antoniou and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the sizeable Jewish community living in Greece during the 1940s, German occupation of Greece posed a distinct threat. The Nazis and their collaborators murdered around ninety percent of the Jewish population through the course of the war. This new account presents cutting edge research on four elements of the Holocaust in Greece: the level of antisemitism and question of collaboration; the fate of Jewish property before, during, and after their deportation; how the few surviving Jews were treated following their return to Greece, especially in terms of justice and restitution; and the ways in which Jewish communities rebuilt themselves both in Greece and abroad. Taken together, these elements point to who was to blame for the disaster that befell Jewish communities in Greece, and show that the occupation authorities alone could not have carried out these actions to such magnitude without the active participation of Greek Christians.

Book A History of the Jews in Macedonia

Download or read book A History of the Jews in Macedonia written by Aleksandar Matkovski and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Jews in the entire area of Macedonia, including Vardar Macedonia (the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia) and parts of Macedonia belonging to Greece and Bulgaria. Ch. 5 (p. 88-96), "The Onset of Nazism and the Second World War", discusses briefly German antisemitism in the 19th-20th centuries, the war, and the Holocaust. Ch. 7 (p. 108-206), "The Deportation and Liquidation of the Jews of Macedonia", describes anti-Jewish measures of Bulgarian authorities in Vardar Macedonia, including economic restrictions and the return of Serbian Jewish refugees to German-occupied Serbia. Dwells on the deportation of Jews by the Bulgarians from Vardar Macedonia and Aegean Macedonia to Treblinka in March 1943. The deportation from Vardar Macedonia was preceded by the establishment of a detention camp in Skopje, where ca. 7,300 Jews were interned. Dwells also on the deportation of Jews from Salonika. Contends that the Bulgarians did not permit the Germans to deport the Bulgarian Jews, because in 1943 Germany already was loosing the war, and Bulgarian leaders sought a way out of the cul-de-sac of their partnership with the Nazis. Only the Italians in their occupation zone in Vardar Macedonia were able to protect the Jews.
