Salonica: Thessalonoki Stories

Running Time: 87 mins.

Ladino with English subtitles

Guest speakers: Dr. David Graizbord, Professor, UA Center for Judaic Studies and Irving Senor, survivor

Salonica is about Thessaloniki, the northern Greek city at the crossroads of the Orient and Europe, the Balkans and the Mediterranean. What makes this city historically unique is the fact that for 450 years it was mainly Jewish and the predominant language was Spanish. This is because Thessaloniki was populated by the Jews who were expelled from Catholic Spain in 1492 and who subsequently found refuge in the Ottoman Empire.
