In Search of Ladino

This documentary captures the experiences and testimonies of Ladino-speaking Holocaust survivors, making it a significant work in the preservation of this culture. Perlov's film documents not only personal stories but also the songs that are integral to the Ladino language and its speakers.

As one of the earliest films to focus on this subject, In Search of Ladino provides rare insights into a community often overlooked in mainstream narratives. The film was intended to be part of a trilogy that would explore Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino, although only this first installment was completed. This adds a layer of historical significance to the film, as it represents a unique perspective on language and memory.
