A city, a community, a war, a ghetto, a displacement, a farewell, a promise for an uncertain meeting after the return to a place that may no longer exist. Houses that suddenly were left abandoned, families who were split and crammed into trains to an unknown destination. Hands that didn't have time to hug, caress, say goodbye. A tribute to the citizens of emptied cities. At night the breeze brings their voices and songs to the neighbourhoods where they once lived. My mother’s stories about the extermination of Thessaloniki’s Jewish community in 1943, including several of her friends, met Leon Saltiel’s book "Don't forget me"- Letters of three Jewish mothers to their sons from the ghetto of Thessaloniki. It struck me to the heart, like everyone who has read it. The letters of Sarina Saltiel to her son Maurice who was studying in Athens, became the base of this piece that aims to give a human face and a voice to those who perished.
