Vital Hasson, the Jew who worked for the Nazis, hunted down refugees and tore apart families in WWII Greece

I learned a lesson when conducting research for my recently published book, "Family Papers: a Sephardic Journey Through the Twentieth Century." I had discovered the story of a young Jewish man forgotten to history until now, a story that taught me that neither cultural affiliation nor family history is a reliable predictor of future behavior. In short, identity is not destiny, and all of us can fall prey to the tides of history. Vital Hasson was a native of Thessaloniki, Greece, a cultural capital of the Sephardic Jewish world and a city that once boasted a majority Jewish population, who knew their home as Salonica. He came from an educated, middle-class family of journalists, writers,...
