Summary

 The epilogue deals with the major themes covered in the volume. More specifically, it analyzes the ambivalence of testimonies and historiographical works on the assessment of Greek Christian responses to the Holocaust, singling out Thessaloniki as the most significant case of this ambivalence. The epilogue then examines the major contribution of the volume, which is to restore a distinctly Greek Jewish thread to the broader narrative of modern Greek history, and to place the Holocaust at the center of a recounting of Greek Jewish history. It makes a case for the inclusion of multiple views and approaches within the volume: for instance, while some chapters make their argument for a relatively high level of Greek complicity, other chapters take a different view of the interplay between Greek Christians and Jews in 1940s Greece, and the ways that it influenced the unfolding and outcomes of the Holocaust. The epilogue concludes with the topic of contemporary antisemitism in Greece and elsewhere in order to show why the Holocaust memory emerged slowly in contemporary European societies and why there is still resistance to it
