October 15, 2024 — Watch free online the full documentary “The Jews of Corfu” – a film by Mirjan Gjergjevica & Maria Boua (1) .
The Jews of Corfu – a population group that was an important part of the island, contributed to the formation of its history. But the tragic events that befell them were added to the black page of human history.
The film The Jews of Corfu (2021) is a powerful documentary by Mirjan Gjergjevica (direction, cinematography, editing, production) & Maria Boua (script, music, sound, production) with narration by Yannis Andriotis and stories told by Zaharias Matathias • Linos Sousis • Nina Vital.
Powerful — both visually and the sound — filmed in an innovative way, combining ambient sound and stories told outdoors with the Mediterranean background, in public spaces, the streets, and Corfu synagogue – with an excellent film score – that is especially impressive how it manages to accompany the viewer in scenes of holocaust atrocities.
The history of the Corfiot Jews – a mixture of Pugliese (from south Italy) and Romaniote (from Greece) is told in vivid detail from the Middle Ages to today.
I watched this fast paced film twice, last premiere weekend, to fully grasp the whole picture ~ Michel van der Burg – Monday , March 14, 2022 (2).
The free public release of the film was announced last Saturday (Oct 12, 2024) by filmmaker Mirjan Gjergjevica (3) :

This work has been screened in many festivals around the world, from America to Australia, and has been lovingly embraced by schools and universities.

While searching my archive today, I encountered the Press release Sep 27, 2001 of the dutch National Health Care Institute (CVZ), advicing the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) to grant permission for Transplantation of Islets of Langerhans in the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC).
That press release is included now (in note 6) in the recent post on the Leiden Islet Laboratory History at site – https://michelvanderburg.com/2024/08/03/leiden-islet-laboratory-history-20240803/
