Homage to the ancient "Mother of Israel"
In October 1992 I began for the first time to deal
more intensively with the Shóah in Greece, after
meeting Dr. Jacques Stroumsa through his
autobiographical lecture in Konstanz. This soon led to his book Geiger in Auschwitz – Ein
jüdisches Überlebensschicksal
aus Saloniki 1941-1947,
which we published in fall 1993 in our Shoah & Judaica/Jewish
Studies series. We subsequently also published an English translation, Violinist in Auschwitz - From Salonica to Jerusalem 1913-1967 (1996). On a visit to
Jerusalem in early September 1995, Dr. Stroumsa gave
me a copy of Erika Kounio-Amariglio's Thessaloniki
survival story. I immediately read it and found it thoroughly fascinating and
deeply moving. We simply had to include this survival document in our series: Damit es die ganze Welt erfährt - Von Saloniki nach Auschwitz und zurück 1926-1996
appeared shortly later in the summer of 1996.
The author was able to visit Konstanz in November 1996
to introduce her book and was accompanied by her husband. Her book has in the
meantime appeared in an English translation by her daughter entitled From Thessaloniki to Auschwitz and Back. Memories oi a Survivor from Thessaloniki
(2000). –
The intensive co-operative editing work and the first
personal meeting with Erika Kounio-Amariglio soon
developed into a very special friendship which also includes her husband,
Rudolf (Rolly) Amariglio.
Since 1997 we have made several incredibly rewarding visits to Thessaloniki and
Northern Greece. …
We met Erika's mother, Hella, and discussed Auschwitz
with her as though it were only yesterday; she is surely one of the oldest
living Auschwitz survivors, an extraordinary person. We have also had several
chats with Erika's brother, Heinz Kounio, who was
still a boy when the family was deported to Auschwitz (cf. H.S. Kounio 1982), in Greek. He is now the president of the
Jewish community of Thessaloniki (2001) and personally guided us through the
moving exhibition "Thessaloniki: The
Metropolis oi Sephardic Jewry”.
