man Greeks considered the Jews their religious and national enemy, their hatred
continued after Greek independence. In 1859 the governor of Izmir sent a re-
port to Istanbul, explaining that the Greek attacks on the Jews increased due to
their religious feast and the anniversary of Greek independence and that some
Greeks were arrested. See Çağrı Erhan, Yunan Toplumunda Yahudi Düşmanlığı
