A new special on BronxNet will
explore the history of Jews during
the holocaust in Greece.
The special will debut on the existing
Modern Odyssey show and will
fi rst be airing Wednesday, January
27 at 8:30 am. with several replays
throughout the week.
This show will provide in depth
some history of Jews in Greece during
World War II through the tellings
of host Dr.Despina Afentouli through
an in-depth interview with documentary
director Lawrence Russo.
The special episode, titled International
Holocaust Remembrance Day:
Jews of Greece explores Russo’s documentary
“Trezoros: The Lost Jews of
Kastoria” tells of some of the oldest
Jewish communities in history, the
Jews of Greece.
“It demonstrates how Greek Orthodox
leaders and the people of
Greece risked their lives and stood
up to Nazi oppression during the Nazi
Occupation and the Holocaust to help
save the fate of Jews across Greece,”
according to the network.
Afentouli explained that the show
will delve into seeking an “antidote”
to the social pathogens of prejudice,
discrimination and violence “to
learn from the past to better understand
the present and foster a better
future.”
“We have the moral responsibility
to preserve the collective memory
and prevent such suffering. These stories
need to be told because they matter
to each and every one of us and I
am grateful to be able to share them
on BronxNet,” Afentouli added.
BronxNet executive director Michael
Max Knobbe also connected
the sharing of this unique history to
that of the “diverse people that make
up the Bronx.”
“Let us never forget. Our shared
stories of struggles and triumphs
contribute to greater understanding
and unity.” Knobbe said.
