ERT traces the history of the Jewish community in Ioannina.

The Jewish community of Ioannina has been the center of Greek-speaking Romaniote Judaism for several centuries. With its active presence in Ioannina from the Byzantine era to World War II, it played a significant role in the economic, political, cultural, and social life of the city, reflecting a crucial chapter in its history.

In the documentary titled "A Passage in Time" produced and broadcasted by ERT2, an effort is made to highlight the multifaceted history of the Jews of Ioannina. The focus is on the arrival and enduring presence of Jews in Ioannina, their intra-community and inter-community relationships, social stratification, concern for education, traditional life, and the influences they received from the Christian traditions of the region.

The documentary also investigates the cultivation of anti-Semitism in the area, and presents the integration of the Jews of Ioannina into the Greek Nation State, as well as their participation in national struggles and the National Resistance. The research also centers on the displacement of the Romaniote Jewish community in March 1944 by the Nazis, touching upon sensitive issues that continue to be silenced or downplayed to this day, such as the stance of local authorities and citizens towards the displacement, as well as the confiscation of their properties.

Points of reflection also include the silence of memory that followed the tragic events of displacement, its emergence in the public sphere in the late 20th century, and the phenomenon of post-memory concerning future generations. These future generations face a new racist discourse dangerously developing worldwide from far-right and xenophobic movements.

The documentary is broadcasted in commemoration of the Day of Remembrance for Greek Jewish Martyrs and Heroes of the Holocaust (January 27).
