EXCERPT
“It is a little known fact that there were thriving Jewish communities in Greece prior to World War II. The Romaniote communities have been in Greece since the fall of the First Temple in 586 BCE and the Sephardim since the height of the Spanish Inquisition in 1492. It is also a little known fact that 87% of Greek Jews were murdered under the Nazi occupation of Greece in World War II. It is important to note that many Greeks risked their lives by hiding Jews or helping them escape deportation.…” - Carol Freeman Gordon

It was a passion to make these facts [about the Jewish communities of Greece and their Holocaust experience] more widely known that led 

Carol Gordon to write a screenplay after many years of intense research.

This film script is called ‘Shira’s Journey’ and the story is fiction but the history is real.
