There was no concentration camp in Salonika, Greece. The Jews in Salonika were grouped into three districts for the purposes of deportation: the 151 quarter, the Hagia Paraskevi district, and the Baron de Hirsch transit camp.

Deprtation began on 15 March 1943 and continued through April. Transport was conducted from the Hirsch camp, and the first consisted of 2,500 men, women, and children. Every three days thereafter new transports left with 2,000 people in each. A total of 48,000 Jews were sent from Salonika to camps in Germany, 37,000 were sent immediately for extermination at camps such as Auschwitz; 11,000 Jews were selected for forced labor in other camps. All told, 96% of the Jewish population from Salonika was exterminated. There are 1,200 Jews who live in the city today.
