Emmanuel Santos and Carol Gordon explore the community’s history from 300 BCE to now through photography and film
In the Jewish Museum’s latest major exhibition, Emmanuel Santos and Carol Gordon show us the history, tradition and present-day existence of the Jews of Greece.
Through photography and documentary, Santos and Gordon reveal a people dating back to approximately 300-250 BCE, who witnessed, experienced, and influenced world history.
The exhibition celebrates this ancient community, who despite facing almost total decimation in the Holocaust, have continued to survive.
In 1986, Gordon began research into the history of Greek Jews after discovering that their ancient and long history was hardly known.
