Łódź throughout the ninetieth century rose from a small town to one of the fastest demographically developing cities in the world, one that had no ethnic majority but similarly sized German, Jewish and Polish populations, and Thessaloniki, a city that for big part of its history the city had a Sephardic-Jewish majority and considerable Turkish, Slavic-speaking and Greek populationshas, has long been an international symbol of diversity and cosmopolitanism. This paper, based on research with activists who cherish multi-ethnic past in their work, remaining minorities, and new migrants, explores ways in which the bygone diversity is being remembered, the new one is practised, and the links between the two are constituted.
