[5] In 1932, at the height of the Fifth Aliyah (1929-1939), Moshe Mano's father, Mordechai Mano, emigrated with his parents from Thessaloniki, Greece to what is now Israel, along with other Greek workers who contributed to the construction of the Port of Haifa.

This relocation allowed the families to escape the Holocaust, during which the Jews in Thessaloniki were persecuted and killed.
