    It's nice to see the good relations between the Greek and Jewish peoples. I've heard that my great-great-grandfather from my mum's side who was a Greek Orthodox Christian saved a few Jewish families during WW2 in the region known as Thessaly. My grandfather told me that he hid them underground in a barn on his farm. He would have kept feeding them secretly until WW2 ended during the war then they fled before the Greek Civil War erupted where the Greeks killed each other for another 3 years. It was nice to see on this video that so many Greek Jews still love their Greek roots and pastimes unlike many of the other ethnicities from this RUclips Channel series. And from my dad's side I've heard that there was a boy at my grandfather's school who was sent to his village from Thessaloniki by his parents during the occupation but only the local Greeks knew about it and kept it secret from the occupying Bulgarian and German armies.

    I think that the majority of Greek Jews had been living in Greece even before Christ, and they were called Romaniotes,they were even speaking Greek as their first language.Exception were the Jews of Thessaloniki who immigrated there in the 15th century from Spain and their main language was Ladino.

    The jewish community in Thessaloniki is sefaradic. When Thessaloniki became part of Greece, in 1912, over 40% of its population was jewish. Some years later, a lot of greek refuges from Turkey came to the city and the muslim population moved to Turkey. In WW2 most of the jewish community were killed in the Shoah. I come from Zakynthos, Zante, where all of the jewish people of the island were saved by the bishop and the mayor of the town of the island. That community was also sefaradic. In Gianena and in Chalkida the jewish communities were Romaniotes. Romaniotes Jews spoke only greek and their communities were there since the roman era.

  • @guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272

    Corey doesn't ask who is a Sephardic Greek Jew (descendants of Jews from Spain who settled in Greece when it was under the Ottoman Empire after 1492) and who is a Romaniote Greek Jew, the ones whose ancestors lived there since ancient times. One guy says his grandmother was from Jannia, as far as I know the Jewish community there was a Romaniote community.

    • @marksimons8861
      @marksimons8861 6 лет назад +9

      Corey often betrays the fact that he hasn't done his homework. At 6:11 he implies that the Greek community was comprised of Ashkenazim and Sephardim! Romaniotes and Italkim aren't mentioned, albeit both being very small groups.

    • @guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272
      @guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 6 лет назад +4

      I have to admit I didn't get through the whole video. There were some Ashkenazim who settled in Greece, though. (I think more settled in Turkey and Bulgaria.) But now he's done "Ethnicities of Israel" videos om Turkish, Bulgarian and Greek Jews and those three communities, the Sephardic ones among them at least were more or less culturally the same when it came to language, folklore and cuisine -- Ladino-speaking descendants of Jewish exiles from Spain who settled in the Balkans and Anatolia during the period of the Ottoman Empire.

    • @guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272
      @guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272 6 лет назад +7

      I looked at the part of the clip and his interview subject himself was ignorant as to whether Greek Jews were Sephardic or Ashkenazic. Sociologically speaking though (and this isn't Corey's fault) Greek and Bulgarian Jews (who are almost all Sephardic with the exception of the Romaniotes of course) are often regarded in Israel as Ashkenazim because they came from Europe and many of them tend to be fair-skinned (let's leave aside for now the fact that there are many light-skinned Moroccan Jews and Syrian Jews as well -- I'm descended from such people myself).

    I would like to point out that most Greek Jews were killed by Nazis , though Greek Jews made up a Greek Community which is significant but small (unlike Moroccan, Yemenite or Russian that were huge communities) Greek Jews when they were in Greece spoke ladino since most are from Spanish origin and they had their own distinctive culture that was different from Christian Greeks.What I would like to point and I find amazing is the big influence of Greek Culture in today's modern Israel. that is to be seen in many Foods , Music and Mentality - I would even say that there is more use of Greek culture in Israel than what it used to be in Jewish Greek community in Salonika - that is very interesting .One can find that a lot in today's Israelis even without being from Greek origin like shown in video. that is when Gil asks people from Greek origin if they listen to Greek music most answer yes - but that is true for many Israelis , I would even say more than half. about 30-40 years ago Greek music was popular among Mizrahi people , but today it's popular generally in Israel.

    The Jewish diaspora in Greece was huge before WWII reached Greece. Ioannina and Thessaloniki, two big cities of Greece had essential influence from the Greek Jews, or "Romaniotes". In Thessaloniki there was a jewish-affiliated Labour organization called "Federacion", which played a big part in the working class movement of early 20th century and afterwards, in the establishment of the communists party of Greece. Unfortunately the Holocaust by the nazi and fascists dissolved this whole situation. Ioannina currently has a Greek-Jew mayor.

      Most of these people were Romaniote. The man who said that his family was from Ioannina would certainly have been Romaniote, as Ioannina was a major center of Romaniote culture. Basically, if people said their families were from Saloniki, they were Sephardic. The rest would either have been Romaniote or Venetian/Italian Jews (who like Romaniotes were a distinct Jewish group) who migrated to islands like Zakynthos and Crete during the Venetian occupation of those islands.

    Ottoman Empire whìch back in the day included modern "greece" was welcoming to jews and massive numbers of sephardic jews relocated in many cities mostly Thessaloniki...when greek state was established and annexed the city of Thessaloniki in 1912 which was predominately jewish it pèrsecuted jews and tried to get rid of them...especially during ww2..it is always nationalistic policies to blame

    Let's not go that far into ancient history. Greeks are proto-indo European. But Jews did live in Greece for hundreds of years in the Macedonian region and in Constantinople even before the Ottoman Empire. But the Nazi's took most of them sadly. Ones left speak Greek and Greek citizens. Few of them I knew like Cohen's that I met here in Canada. Very similar cultures even Palastinians in a way if you take out religion. Mediterraneans are very alike vs Northern Europeans.

      @@nikgeo8690 I don’t believe the Greek Government ever persecuted Jews. Greece has had Romaniotes for thousands of years. They lived in harmony with the Greeks for all of their existence. In fact, many Jewish historians comment on how Greece was a bastion of religious freedom. Can you cite your sources?
      I have a quote here for you, “David Saltiel, President of the Jewish Community of Greece and vice-chair of the World Jewish Congress recently said during a lecture attended by Greek Reporter that the Romaniote community lived for centuries alongside the Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities in Greece. They constitute a completely unique branch of Jewry.
      “Despite the fact that they were almost totally decimated during the Holocaust,” they persevered, Saltiel explained. They constitute the single oldest community of Jews in the entire European diaspora.
      Here is another one from the Kehila Kedosha Janina, “About half the community (an estimated 2,000) immigrated to the United States between 1902 and 1924. Most settled on the Lower East Side of Manhattan not far from the present site of Kehila Kedosha Janina. Their reasons for leaving were political upheavals in the Balkans, economic instability, antiquated inheritance laws and the dowry system, and, of course, the desire for a better life for themselves and their children.”
      Nothing in history points to Greek persecution as a reason for the community leaving, most cite the decline of the Balkan economic system, the Balkan wars, and the holocaust because of the Nazi and Italian occupation, as a driving factor in the decline of the population. In Yannina we love everyone. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world.

    Italian descendants can get citizenship thru their fathers or grandfathers at any age, and mothers if the asker is born after 1948. That has nothing to do with Israel's founding, it's just the rule for anyone. As long as your ancestor didn't renounce Italian citizenship, you can do it. I'm in the process thru the Italian embassy so the Greek guy should go to the Greek Embassy. I realize the video is old but maybe others are interested.

    Greece lost a part of its spirit and soul when our Jews were expelled and murderd by the Nazis. We are poorer for this, and we wellcome with open hands and hearts any Jew that would make our land their own. In my town 780 Jews were taken by the Bulgarians under Nazi comand, none to ever return. The last Jew gave the keys of the Synagoge to the Bisop with the only request to respect the place and never "make it a meat shop". Since then it serves as a library , with the conviction that once the Jews ever return in our town it will imediatelly returned to them.

    I find it fascinating when Ashkenazim tell Sephardim or Italkim how they, themselves, the Ashkenazi is a European Jew, but the Spanish, Italian or Greek is not a European Jew, as well. Greek Jews were almost entirely slaughtered in the Holocaust and it's not discussed among Ashkenazim. In fact, many told me they never even met a Greek Jew before nor even knew Greek Jews existed. Something about it is so sad to hear. Truly amongst the forgotten Jews in many ways. Thanks for taking the time to find Greek Jews and share their opinions and family stories.

      Mark Simons "traditional" as your definition in this video are people who have abandoned most of their family traditions, i.e. the religious practices. Do you think only people with peyot and chassidishe garb are religious?? How about a video stopping those who you do not believe are religious and asking them how stringent their observance is? I mean within communities that has ever a mix of modern Orthodox and others. Jerusalem, Modiin, Raanana, Beersheva. Perhaps you could show the real middle ground who maintain their religious practice and are connected with the 'secular' society.
