The Aktion
against the Jews of Greece began in the first week of February. On
February 6, the order that set the deportations in motion was sent:
Jews were to mark their businesses and homes prominently and move
into a ghetto. Implementation was assigned to the SD, and the
financial expenses were charged to the Jews. Within several days,
the standard set of restrictions and decrees went into effect: the
yellow badge, home quarantine, the injunction against the use of
public transport, forfeit of telephones, and a nighttime curfew. The
Germans sent the first transport of deportees from Salonika to
Auschwitz on February 25, 1943. |
