Director: Ed Askinazi
USA 2005, 28 min, Beta
A passionate, personal exploration of the little known community of Greek Jews known as Romaniotes, who date their community, traditions and language back to Ancient Rome. The Kehila Kedosha Janina on Broome Street in New York is the only remaining Romaniote synagogue in the US.
Followed by: SALONIKA: 'CITY OF SILENCE'
Director: Maurice Amaraggi
Belgium/Netherlands 2006, 52 min, Beta; English narration
Director Maurice Amaraggi follows his family roots to the port city of Salonika, once a thriving cosmopolitan Jewish center until its Sephardic community was destroyed in the Holocaust. Today's mix of new immigrants and construction -including a university built over a Jewish cemetery- conceal Salonika's rich and dark past.
Co-sponsored by the Sephardic Ladino Heritage Group.
