Kavala, a port in eastern Greek Macedonia, sheltered a Sephardic community active in the tobacco trade that brought prosperity to the city. Judeo-Spanish-speaking, its members were organized around their synagogues and institutions. During the Second World War, the region came under Bulgarian occupation, and in 1943 the community was deported along with those of other territories occupied by Bulgaria, and almost entirely exterminated in the Nazi camps.
