Part Two of the Eurobarometer Survey:
Question: Would you say that the fact of belonging to the following groups tends to be a disadvantage,
in Greek society at the current time? European average in brackets.
Being a person of a different ethnic origin than the rest of the population: 55% (62%)
Being of Roma origin: 77% (77%)
Being aged under […]
I didn’t know that the nazis were having another cosy get-together in Athens this weekend. As much as I hate the idea that a bunch of right-wing extremists are having this meeting, I wish this didn’t happen. Because then they are able to argue that we (the lefties) are as bad as they are. What […]
Wordpress has finally launched a version that can import all posts and comments from an old wordpress blog! So now my entire history of blogging is here ! I am very happy. Thank you so much, Vegankid.
I have spent about three hours updating my links etc. Please do me a big favour and check your […]
Thank you all for your comments on the “We hate DD thread”. I am not going respond to everyone individually but I do want to address a couple of issues. I hope you understand.
I did not take the decision to ban people from this site lightly. It was not done in a fit of anger […]
It’s Thursday again. This week has flown by. I apologise again for the lack of posts. I am working on the look of my new place and that’s taking a bit longer than I expected. This is partly due to the very steep learning curve and partly because I actually, really do have a life […]
I have to admit, I find surveys fascinating but I am very wary of statistics. As regular readers here know, I have had statistics thrown in my face since I started this blog. All of them from bigots, racists and self-professed nationalists. The lefties like me, tend to shy away from them because they can […]
OK, I really like this theme. I am going to ask the wonderful Vegankid about putting my header on it but for now, this is it for me. It works and the options that it comes with are manageable. I’m going to play with it for a while and then we’ll see about some serious […]
Yesterday was Blogging for Radical Fun day, a day inspired by one of my favorite bloggers Brownfemipower and picked up and hosted by Sly Civilian. I completely forgot, much to my shame but Sly has changed the “rules” and is making this Radical Fun weekend. So here’s my entry….
What do radical bloggers do for fun […]
If anyone has noticed anything odd going on around here, don’t worry. I am looking for a new theme for the blog so that I can have two sidebars. I want to use one for ads etc and the other for all the proper stuff. I think that that way would be less intrusive to […]

See you all later for DD live. If it seems that I am not there (usually I am “silly-surfing” and that’s how I missed bfp last week!) , please email me at thedeviousdiva@gmail.com. I get a big red notice that shows up in my dock if you do that.
If you want a reminder email every […]

So, that’s the whole article posted. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did when I read it. I am sure some of the flow is lost in posting it in extracts but I […]

Bodies Visible and Invisible: The Erasure of the Jewish Cemetery in the Life of Modern Thessaloniki
LAQUEUR and HESSE
Throughout the 1920 and 1930’s reasonable relations remained possible. The negotiations between the Jewish Community, the municipal government, and indirectly the national government over the cemetery and over other matters remained civil […]
An article by Kathy Tzilivakis in the Athens News covers the racist ruling that prevents non-European street vendors from selling their goods at open air markets in Greece. The Council of State (the highest administrative court) will decide next month if the Government has the right to implement such a ban. Petros Hatziris, president of […]

Bodies Visible and Invisible: The Erasure of the Jewish Cemetery in the Life of Modern Thessaloniki
LAQUEUR and HESSE
The hard facts of demography were mirrored in culture and politics. Elementary education in Greek became compulsory, replacing for many Jews an education in French sponsored by the Alliance Israelite and […]
