In March 1943, the first train to Auschwitz from Thessaloniki left. In August of that year, 50,000 Jews were deported there, most of whom never returned. 96% of the city's Jewish community was exterminated in Nazi concentration camps. The houses and properties they left behind ended up in the hands of property custody agents, the furniture and utensils ended up in Christian houses and shops, the marble slabs from the old cemetery were relocated to the most unexpected places in the city...The Jewish community largest in the Balkans, disappeared from the map while a new social and economic elite emerged.

In an attempt to bring us closer to that bygone era, the artistic team on stage speaks with guests from the past, present and future of the city of Thessaloniki and shows us the results of an investigation to compose a new historical and social mural of this “city of ghosts”
