Book presentation by Mrs. Maria Mamaliga titled: ‘Mercanto’.

About the book: The novella Mercanto, from the Judeo-Spanish word for one who was ransomed by the Angel of Death, attempts to highlight the depth and timelessness of these questions, through the journey of a seventeen-year-old Sephardic girl living in the closed Jewish community of Rhodes during the Italian and German occupation. Later, from Marmaris, to post-war Istanbul and Ashdod, the heroine searches for traces of her family, who have now been lost in Auschwitz, as well as for the threads that will weave her new, adult self.
