If you’re part of one of the lower Italian classes, you may remember going to the Conservatoria a couple months ago. At that place a quite extraordinary man spoke to us, a man who proudly survived the Holocaust. As enthusiastic as he was, his story was very serious and grave.

He watched as his mother lost her job as a teacher due to their religion. Soon enough like the rest of his friends, him and his family were sent to a concentration camp. I’m happy to say that both him and his parents managed to escape and reconstruct their lives in society.

It truly was an amazing thing hearing him speak and snapping a few pictures of him.
