THE AGONY OF GREEK JEWS feature length documentary

 

The Agony of the Greek Jews" produced and directed by Dimitri Vorris is about the unknown Holocaust in Greece based on the works and the research of historian and author Steven B. Bowman. It is about the 57.000 martyrs of the Greek Holocaust and the Jews who joined the resistance and fought against the Nazis. 

The Agony of Greek Jews tells the story of modern Greek Jewry as it came under the control of the Kingdom of Greece during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In particular, it deals with the vicissitudes of those Jews who held Greek citizenship during the interwar and wartime periods. 

 Individual chapters address the participation of Greek and Palestinian Jews in the 1941 fighting with Italy and Germany, the roles of Jews in the Greek Resistance, aid, and rescue attempts, and the problems faced by Jews who returned from the camps and the mountains in the aftermath of the German retreat. Bowman focuses on the fate of one minority group of Greek citizens during the war and explores various aspects of its relations with the conquerors, the conquered, and concerned bystanders.
