Alberto Segre

Liliana Segre's life is a testament to resilience, marked by her survival of the Holocaust. Born in Milan in 1930 to a Jewish family, her childhood was profoundly altered by the Italian Racial Laws of 1938, which led to her expulsion from school.

Her family's arrest in 1943 resulted in deportation to Auschwitz. As the sole survivor among her relatives, she returned to Milan following the war's conclusion in 1945. After many years of quiet reflection, Liliana Segre began sharing her experiences publicly in the 1990s, notably addressing young students. In 2018, her lifelong dedication to remembrance and societal contribution in the social sphere was recognised with an appointment as senator for life.
