For centuries, the bustling port city of Salonica was home to the sprawling Levy family. The First World War transformed them from Ottomans to Greeks, and the Second World War nearly eviscerated the clan, eradicating whole branches of the global family tree. In “Family Papers,” historian Sarah Abrevaya Stein uses the family’s correspondence to tell the story of the Levys’ journey across the arc of a century and the breadth of the globe. What remains solid after years of dramatic change is the fragile tissue that once held them together: neither blood nor belief, but papers.
