This exhibition grew out of the multi-media Before the Flame Goes Out by the late Vincent Giordano, a project of the International Survey of Jewish Monuments (ISJM) to document the Romaniote Jews of Ionnina and New York.

Before the Flame Goes Out was conceived and developed by Vincent Giordano with assistance from Dr. Samuel Gruber, president of ISJM, and the leadership of the congregation of Kehila Kedosha Janina.
