520 _a"In 1943 Salonica's Jews were deported to Auschwitz, leaving the city entirely Greek for the first time since Sultan Murad II had entered it in triumph five centuries earlier. The deportations marked the real ending of Ottoman Salonica, where one of the most extraordinarily diverse societies in Europe had lived on the shore of the Mediterranean amid the city's minarets and cypresses, its ruined Roman arches and Byzantine churches. Under the sultans, Christians, Muslims and Jews alike had endured the terrors of plague and famine. In the docks and bazaars even the shoe-blacks, porters and lemonade sellers spoke half a dozen languages. Egyptian merchants and Ukranian slaves, Spanish-speaking rabbis and Turkish pashas rubbed shoulders with Orthodox pilgrims, Sufi dervishes and Albanian brigands. Creeds clashed and mingled in an atmosphere of shared piety and messianic mysticism.
