Standing ovation for Liliana Segre, ''woman of peace'' for Fabio Fazio, upon her entry into the new studio of Che tempo che fa at the debut of the new season on Nove: ''which I am very happy that has allowed us to host her once again'', says Fazio.
We move on to the "you" at the request of the senator who wears a conspicuous plaster on her forehead (''I banged in the kitchen I got a bump''), ''a great effort - says Segre - I listened while I was waiting for those who spoke and I was struck by David Grossman who found extraordinary words, fear of the moment, nightmare of the future. Someone who has lost a son, who knows the world in which he lives, with his disappointments, with his hopes." One thing she says she wanted to say a month ago when she received the invitation: ''I have always thought that what I wanted to leave dime is that committee of which I am the president against hate speech, which fortunately has been maintained in the current legislature''. ''When you happen to be alive, you listen to what happens in a world where you hope there is no hate speech. When it was hoped that Israelis and Palestinians would be able to live together. So is it all useless? What hope is there for a grandmother like me? What has happened to children guilty only of being born, takes you to a distant time when I thought I would no longer live."
''What happens doesn't let me sleep, but being a woman of peace, I don't have an answer as to why,'' Segre explains.
''Meekness is a word so far removed from these times that I said to myself, but 'how did I come up with this word', pronounced in those sacred rooms where conflict hovered.'' As for October 16, "I didn't know anything because I was hidden by generous friends who risked their lives for me.
I didn't even know anything about it at the camp, then I met a Roman girl who told me how things had gone.
There were my grandparents who were saved even though they were in the situation of being rounded up on October 16."
''Today it is very difficult not to be afraid, but it is stronger than me, I am not afraid, and this is the moral legacy that I want to leave to my children and grandchildren.''
