This course explores the intimate Jewish histories of the Sephardi Balkans during the 19th and 20th centuries. Following the lives of children, women, and families, we trace the transition from the Ottoman era to the late 20th century. We will examine how major geopolitical shifts in Southeastern Europe reshaped individual lives and severed traditional ties. Through the lens of social history and visual culture, we’ll discover the riveting stories of individuals stretching to embrace modernity while maintaining their Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) heritage.

- Descendants of Balkan Jewish families (Thessaloniki, Sarajevo, Istanbul, etc.) looking to connect with their Sephardi heritage.
- Students of modern Jewish history, gender studies, and the history of childhood.
- Photography enthusiasts and researchers interested in Jewish visual culture and family archives.
- Anyone interested in the Ottoman Empire and the multi-ethnic history of the Balkan Peninsula.
What you'll leave with
- A comprehensive understanding of the modern Sephardi experience and the decline of the Ottoman Jewish world.
- Familiarity with the Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) cultural arc across Southeastern Europe.
- New skills in interpreting historical photography and personal letters as tools for understanding the past.
- A nuanced perspective on how modernity, migration, and war impacted the Sephardi family unit.
