Salonica is in Greece. In ancient times it was called Thessalonika; in modern Greek, Thessaloniki. The Ottoman Empire was the Turkish empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire) which then ruled Greece. It's not German; it's an anglicisation of the name of its founder, Osman.
The Jews were let into England by Oliver Cromwell, 366 years after they had been expelled by Edward I, 350 years ago, in 1656; you'll be seeing 350 anniversary celebrations this year, I would imagine. As for anti-view, he didn't have an anti-anything view (apart from anti-monarchy and anti-High Church). He was a friend to the Jews.
