"I am very happy today to have visited Şalom, one of the oldest newspapers in Turkey, that makes the culture of Turkish Jews shine since 1947, and keep Ladino -the language that was derived from Spanish and was formerly spoken by the community- alive. We had a warm conversation with the Editor-in-Chief Ivo Molinas and Publications Coordinator Virna Gümüşgerdan, about the history of Turkish Jews and their efforts to keep the Ladino language alive."
