** The new ERT series "The bracelet of fire" will be shown on January 25 exclusively on the platform ERTFLIX and will be available until January 31, 2023.
A serial that begins to be broadcast in the next few days by ERT, "The bracelet of fire", describes the dramatic story of a Jewish family in Thessaloniki and reveals aspects and relationships of the city's life that are still alive, albeit invisible.
The series is based on the book of the same title by the Larisa writer Bettys (Beatrikis) Saia-Magrizou.
The Jewish community of Thessaloniki has "embraced" the series since it also refers to real incidents and brings to light dramatic aspects of Jewish life.
The author is a first cousin of the well-known Albert Burla. In particular, Bettys Magrizou's father, Iosif Saias, was the brother of Roula Burla, Albert Burla's mother. In fact, "Joseph" is also one of the persons mentioned in "The bracelet of fire".
