Life Senator and Holocaust survivor
Liliana Segre said Wednesday she feels infinite angst at the new
wave of antisemitic hate sweeping Italy.
"I'm often accused of playing the victim," said the 93-year-old,
"I'm one of the very few people still alive who are witnesses to
the extermination of thousands of people including their father,
grandparents and cousins for the sake of being born.
"And so after so many years, we are still talking about
antisemitism, of those who are more or less antisemitic or
anti-Zionist. I have to tell the truth, what remains to me, in
my deepest self, is an angst that never stops".
Segre, 93, was commenting on a report to the antisemitism
commission she chairs by a watchdog who said the cases of
antisemitism in Italy had quadrupled, from 98 to 406, since the
Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7.
