The publication Holocaust Songs of the Greek Jews presents for the first time, in one volume and recorded, the songs written by Greek Jews during the Holocaust. The material emerged after years of research by Mariangela Chatzistamatiou through the testimonies of survivors, the literature of the Holocaust, and the archives of the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki. The songs of the Holocaust, or rather, their lyrics, function as capsules of information that encapsulate the world as these people saw it in the bleakest moments of their existence.
