Synopsis
A stunning multi-generational account of the Nazi occupation of Greek Salonica that, like Irene Nemirovsky's Suite Française and Viktor E. Frankl's A Man's Search for Meaning, shines a much-needed personal light on a Holocaust tragedy of epic scale., 'Whoever listens to a witness, becomes a witness.' - Elie Wiesel When Nazi occupiers arrived in Greece in 1941, it was the beginning of a horror that would reverberate through generations. In the city of Salonica (Thessaloniki), almost 50,000 Jews were sent to Nazi concentration camps during the war, and only 2,000 returned. A Jewish doctor named Isaac Matarasso and his son escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Nazis and joined the resistance. After the city's liberation they returned to rebuild Salonica and, along with the other survivors, to grapple with the near-total destruction of their community. Isaac was a witness to his Jewish community's devastation, and the tangled aftermath of grief, guilt and grace as survivors returned home. Talking Until Nightfall presents his account of the tragedy and his moving tribute to the living and the dead. His story is woven together with his son Robert's memories of being a frightened teenager spared by a twist of fate, with an afterword by his grandson Francois that looks back on the survivors' stories and his family's place in history. This slim, wrenching account of loss, survival, and the strength of the human spirit will captivate readers and ensure the Jews of Salonica are never forgotten., Isaac Matarasso was a Jewish doctor in Salonika during the occupation of Greece by the Nazis. He describes the degrees of oppression under the occupation in minute practical and emotional detail. To all intents and purposes, the Jewish population of Salonika was wiped out. He himself fled to the mountains. Of the 60,000 Jews in Salonika only 2,000 returned. The structure of the book is Departure/Return and finally, probably the most moving part of the book, a meditation on the human capacity for endurance in the face of what seems like unendurable suffering. It is thus not just another holocaust account. The author himself never went to Auschwitz. But it is a hymn to life in the manner of the Jewish prayer L'Chaim . If the ancient Greeks were right and the guts were the seat of the emotions, any reader of this book will be affected in the guts.
