In The Shadow Of The Acropolis reveals an unknown two-thousand-year-old culture. The Greek Jews in this documentary represent a branch of Judaism which few have ever heard of — The Romaniotes. Through original testimony by the Ackos Family, this memoir tells the compelling details of how this culture was almost wiped off the map of civilization during World War II, a story you have never heard before.

Produced by Laura Zelle and Maxine Davis, in Association with Tolerance Minnesota, IN THE SHADOW OF THE ACROPOLIS uncovers one of the most obscure chapters in the dark history of the Holocaust. Narrated by Jaime-Lyne Sigler (THE SOPRANOS).
