Marguerite: Journey of a Sephardic Woman

In 1917, Marguerite Saltiel, an 18 year old reporter for L'Independant, a popular newspaper in Salonica, Greece, was involved in the adventure of wartime coverage on the Allied Eastern Front when a fire destroyed the Jewish quarter of the city and changed the course of her life.

The fire was the turning point in the life of a family that traced their history to medieval Spain and the expulsion of Jews who failed to convert to Christianity.
