The presentation will focus on Sephardic migration from Rhodes and Turkey to Seattle following Greek-Orthodox townsmen from the beginning of the 20th century until the 1930s, explain which families migrated from which cities and the geographical divide between Ezra Bessarot and Bikur Holim, cite available archival, secondary literature, and oral history sources, depict naming patterns, and note patterns of marriage, marriage with Ashkenazim, intermarriage, assimilation, and migration to Portland; as well as post-Holocaust migration of Salonikan Jews. The facets of settlement will be discussed like involvement in the Fish Market, local civic life, and the rabbinic lineage of the Maimon family.
