THE GIRL FROM SALONIKA (36 mins) directed by Alison Jayne Wilson is the true story of Mazaltov ‘Fofo’ Behar, a 17 year old Greek girl deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and a victim of Nazi sterilization experiments at the hands of Nazi doctor Horst Schumann. We revisit her early years in Greece and the political and social climate before the German invasion and deportation of 90% of Greek Jews. The Girl From Salonika features never before seen footage shot inside Block 10 and Fofo’s testimony. As one of the few survivors of Block 10, Fofo reclaimed her maiden name, her voice and began working with doctors and university professors towards the end of her life. She raised awareness on the importance of medical ethics, and what happens when dangerous ideologies run rampant and what happens when doctors in particular lose their humanity. The film also offers rare insights into intergenerational trauma and resilience as we trace Fofo's journey from her childhood home in Salonika to her complete Sephardi exodus in Spain.
