Foundation for the Advancement of Sephardic Studies and Culture

The full history of the FASSAC, can be read [here](http://www.sephardicstudies.org/history.html). 

For nearly 40 years the Foundation has been dedicated to preserving and promoting the complex and centuries-old culture of the Sephardic communities of Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, Europe and the U.S. Emigration, and the devastation of the Holocaust, have combined to weaken historic communities which had resisted assimilation, where Ladino, the Sephardic language, was used continuously and unique cultural traditions were practiced.
