Per chi splende questo lume: La mia vita oltre AuschwitzWe just got this book at the National Library of Israel. The book, as you see, is written in italian. I could see that about a 25% is written with white letters over black paper, no need to have a big imagination why."In a journey back in time, Virginia retraces her extraordinary life: her birth in Rome and her childhood in Italy. Her transfer to Rhodes at the age of 13 when her father was appointed director of the Jewish school on the island. The sea, her happy years, her meeting with her future husband. But Virginia also remembers the racial laws, the arrest by the Nazis and the deportation. She recounts, with delicacy and honesty, what was the greatest horror of her life: internment in Auschwitz.Yet Virginia's light continues to shine even after the camp, even after the atrocity of the Shoah. And this is how she tells Fatima how she rebuilt her life. A life that will take her to the Congo and finally to Venice as a teacher, where, finally, one step away from retirement, she will find the courage to tell her experience in the camp, silenced until then."
