PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
In this affectionate memoir, originally published in 1946, Sciaky looks back at the thriving, polyglot Salonica of his youth. He writes of his home, schoolmates and life in a thriving Sephardic merchant community. Like many non-Greeks, the Sciaky family left Salonica in the wake of WWI, and the violence of the 1912-13 Balkan Wars.
