Tag #120840 - Interview #78797 (Maurice Leon)

Selected text
I was never involved in Athens Jewish Community affairs, or in any other Jewish organization. On the contrary, my wife Yvette was fanatically involved in WIZO [39] and she still continues to be. I believe she is doing very well and I am supporting her with whatever she is involved with. [Editor's note: Mrs. Yvette Leon served for many years as president of the Greek Branch of WIZO.]

We never asked any compensation from any organization. We just once gave an interview to Spielberg's Foundation [40] on our life during the war, but I've never spoken again on how life used to be before the war in Thessaloniki.
