(ANSA) - TEL AVIV, JAN 23 - The testimony given by the actress Liliana Segre "in the last decades on the Shoah has been a precious patrimony for Italy". This was said by President Sergio Mattarella in the meeting in Jerusalem with the Israeli President Reuven Rivlin for the 75 years of the liberation of Auschwitz.
"I named her (senator for life) in January 2018 and 80 years passed by the racial laws with which fascism persecuted Jews," added Mattarella, calling them "a very serious black page" for Italy. "Therefore - added the head of state - Italy is aware of the need to continually affirm the need to combat anti-Semitism and to transmit awareness to young people".
