Paris Papamichos Chronakis is Lecturer in Modern Greek History at Royal Holloway University of London where he teaches and researches the history and memory of the Modern Mediterranean. His work explores questions of transition from empire to nation-state, bringing together the entangled histories of Jews, Muslims, and Christians from the late Ottoman Empire to the Holocaust. In recent years, his research and publications have expanded to Balkan War refugees, Salonica in World War One, Greek interwar Zionism and anti-Zionism, the Holocaust of Sephardi Jewry, and digital Holocaust Studies. His first book, The Business of Transition: Jewish and Greek Merchants of Salonica from Ottoman to Greek Rule, was published by Stanford University Press in October 2024.
