Putting meaning behind "Never Again" is at the core of our mission. We know that we must look back at past events to learn how to prevent or end atrocities from occurring today. In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, we are joining with Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and PSU’s Holocaust and Genocide Studies Project to present a screening and discussion around the film Trezoros: The Lost Jews of Kastoria.

Register for free HERE. Watch the film between January 24-27 and then join the panel discussion on January 27 at 6pm via zoom.

Panel discussion includes Larry Confino, Director/Producer; Lawrence Russo, Director, Dr. Joe Halio who served on the film as a consultant on Sephardic history; and Andrea Grass, who provided important archival photos and film to the project through her family.

About the film: Using never-before-seen pre-war archival footage and first-person testimonies, Trezoros: The Lost Jews of Kastoria chronicles the Jewish life and culture of Kastoria, a picturesque lakeside village in the mountains of Northwestern Greece, near the Albania border. 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. Trezoros (the Ladino/Judeo-Spanish term of endearment meaning “Treasures”) takes us from the joyful innocence of the pre-war years through the heartbreaking struggles of the Holocaust, to a unique place in time and history of a Greek Jewish culture lost forever.
