Left Lane Straight: Work-In-Progress Film Project with Director Caroline Kaye

This Greek-Jewish odyssey is stitched across 2 continents and 4 generations. Director Caroline Kaye tells a rare WWII story: the decimation of the Greek Jews and the complex tale of how her family survived and thrived, asking: What is joy in the presence of pain? Before World War II, there were roughly 72,000 Jews living in Greece. 60,000 of those were murdered during the Holocaust, including Sarah and Solomon Varon of Kavalla. The Jews of Thessaloniki (Salonica) were hit harder than Athens, where the Jewish population was more assimilated. The Jews of Macedonia and Thrace, an area largely occupied by axis-power Bulgaria, were nearly erased.

Meet Caroline Kaye and hear about her personal creative journey living and making this beautiful and heartrending film. Her project is supported by the New York State Council of Arts, film patrons and organizations representing American Sephardic and Greek communities. Don’t let the moment pass: “Pasa punto, pasa mundo” ~ “A moment passes, a world passes.” — Ladino Proverb
