vol i no iv SHEALTIEL GAZETTE december 1995 Chicago to research the Danube America line. Jean Carasso, of Gordes, writes about his own newsletter, La Lettre Sépharade, which is in its fifth year. It deals with Sephardic history and genealogy. By now a popular feature of the newsletters, Maurice continues his childhood reminiscences. He paints a picture of the troubled times suffered by the Salonica community. Besides the First World War and the physical hardships, another great misfortune occurred in 1917. A great fire destroyed the entire town within a matter of several hours, making almost fifty thousand people homeless. Maurice’s family never imagined that their house would be effected by a fire which was raging on the other side of town. However, this proved to be untrue and they had to flee their home. Maurice was six years old. ” The most recent edition of Le Traitd’Union at time of going to press was for November/December. It included many items of good news, including the birth of two children and one marriage. (See the announcement on page twentyseven) In the fourth episode of Maurice’s childhood memories, he mentions that, at no time during the fire which destroyed Salonica were there sighted any firemen or policemen. It was rumoured that the fire had been planned in order to make way for an urbanisation plan to modernise the town. He continues to talk about the customs of the Salonican community. Marriages, for example, were usually arranged by reputable matchmakers, who would guarantee a cornucopia of attractive qualities for a potential spouse. ” It is intended that Le Trait d’Union should continue to be a monthly forum for discussion within the Frenchspeaking family. It is the fruit of efforts by the French family, in particular: • Maurice & Rosette Saltiel of Villiers sur Marne • Michel & Marianne Saltiel of Paris • Maurice Tendier & Ruth Clamart of Paris • Aviva & Georges Saltiel of Paris • Philippe & Béatrice Saltiel of Fourques; and • Jacques & Christiane Saltiel of Ury. Many thanks to all of them.
