Paris Chronakis

Dr Paris Chronakis teaches and researches on the history and memory of the Modern Mediterranean. His work explores questions of transition from empire to nation-state bringing together the interrelated histories of Jewish, Muslim and Christian urban middle classes from the late Ottoman Empire to the Holocaust. In the last years, his research and publications have expanded to post-imperial urban identities, Balkan War refugees, Zionism and anti-Zionism in interwar Europe, the Holocaust of Sephardi Jewry and digital Holocaust Studies. Currently, he is spearheading a digital history project to map and visualise the social networks of Jewish deportees in Nazi concentration camps. Dr Chronakis is on the editorial board of the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique Moderne et Contemporain.
