Summaries are much more preferred, that's my personal feeling these days.

The city became a hub of Jewish printing, trade, and religious life, with synagogues and schools flourishing across its neighborhoods. Over the centuries, however, the community’s dominance began to wane. Fires, shifting trade routes, and political changes gradually altered the city’s demographics. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jews remained a vital part of Thessaloniki but no longer held a majority. The most devastating blow came during World War II, when Nazi occupation led to the deportation of more than 45,000 Jews to Auschwitz. Few survived, ...
