Les Juifs de Drama (Macédoine)

Drama, in Greek Eastern Macedonia, was home to a small Sephardic community of Judeo-Spanish speech, whose members worked mainly in the tobacco and cotton trade that was the source of the region's wealth. Organized around its synagogue, it formed part of the network of Sephardic communities of northern Greece. Under Bulgarian occupation during the Second World War, the community was deported in 1943 and exterminated in the Nazi camps, leaving practically no survivors.
