eTwinning Project ? Biography of Salomon Yeni
Students from all over the school are participating in an eTwinning project. The main theme of the project is to find information about a Greek Jewish man called Solomon Yeni. We already know that he was born and raised in Thessaloniki from 1905 to 1933, when he moved to France. During the 2nd World War he was forced by German Nazi soldiers to board a train ( Convoi 77 ) to Auschwitz where his life came to an end. Since he lived a long period of his life in France, we are cooperating with a French school to discover more about the story of his life.
In doing so, we also learn about the astonishing and turbulent history of our city, Thessaloniki, the diversity of its population and especially the presence of the vibrant Jewish community.
