Holocaust Remembrance, Part 4
In our next segment of the Holocaust Remembrance series on Feb 2, we're welcoming Long Beach resident Lawrence Russo, the film director behind Trezoros: The Lost Jews of Kastoria Greece. He will discuss the inspiration to make this amazing documentary using pre-archival footage and first-person testimonies. 

Film Viewing & Discussion

Let’s take a trip to Kastoria, a picturesque lakeside village in Northwestern Greece. Here, Jews and Greek Orthodox Christians lived together in harmony for more than two millennia until World War II, when this long and rich history would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
