The Last Greeks on Broome Street
Posted by Abravanel, the Blog στο 01/06/2008
«The Last Greeks on Broome Street» is just a short movie on the small community of Greek Jews called Romaniòtes/ Ρωμανιώτες and a group of them who emigrated in New York from Ioannina/ Jannina at the beginnings of the century. I have already cited them numerous times in my blog and one day I intend on writing a nice piece. In the meantime a film has come out and though I haven’t seen it yet I thought it was worthwhile to bring it up for those interested in this small but important part of Greek Judaism.
For a review in greek you can check this blog post here.
For the site of the movie itself just click here.

Strange, there are no Greeks in this movie.

Nor do I see one in you but I don’t think that it’s a problem.

I always feel a bit melancholic when I read about the dying Romaniotes..
