Fire at Thessaloniki - before the blaze took hold, August 1917. The Great Fire raged between 18th-19th August 1917. In 32 hours 9500 houses were destroyed.which left more than 70000 people homeless. A consequence of the fire saw close to half the city's Jewish population, their homes and livelihoods destroyed, emigrate. Many went to Palestine, some to Paris and others found their way to America. Their numbers were quickly replaced by refugees from another disaster a few years after the war, when huge numbers of ethnic Greeks were expelled from Turkey in 1922 following the Greco-Turkish War.
