"Knowing is remembering. Reading is remembering. Naming is remembering. There are different ways to remember."
A beautifully illustrated, gently excavated conversation and remembrance. Read, know, and remember Stella Levi and the sparkling pocket of the world she lived in off the coast of Greece, on the island of Rhodes, where a community of Judeo-Spanish-speaking Sephardic Italian Jews had lived and thrived for 500 years. Name with her and remember the painful absurdity of its destruction and her own hellish separation. Watch, know, and remember the trust that gathers between her and interviewer-friend Michael Franks over 6 years and 100 Saturdays of chats as they work through and remember together an extraordinary life that spans nearly 100 years.
