Being leftist and jewish in Greece during the civil war and its aftermath: Constraints and choices

Abstract

Suddenly, in the summer of 1949, the Greek government decided to allow youngsters like myself to emigrate to Israel with a 'laissez-passer' [travel document], as long as we relinquished our citizenship. In October 1949, I left my good and bad memories behind me and departed for Israel, where I found myself again and a new life began for me. © 2019 Nefeli Publishers. All rights reserved.
