Stella Levi - Ladino

Stella Levi, a native Ladino speaker from Rhodes now in her 90s, describes her extraordinary life, beginning with a sunny childhood in Rhodes during its Italian period and the destruction of the island's ancient Sephardic community during the Holocaust. Levi survived Auschwitz and later moved to Italy and California before finding a home and a place of honor in the cosmopolitan mix of Manhattan.
