Liliana Segre on the government: “Easy to find reasons for concern but let’s see”

Advice or wishes with respect to the government, to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni? The senator for life and witness to the Shoah, Liliana Segrethus replies to Fabio Fazio during ‘Che tempo che fa’ on RaiTre: “It would be easy to find reasons for concern but as a lay person as I am I would like to see. Too easy to judge in advance … I want to fight inside myself those prejudices that have upset many lives and I want to be a serene spectator “.

Anti-fascism? “I’d like to hope it’s still there,” Segre continued. “I lived a family affair in which my father had only one brother who was an early fascist, he was very convinced. And there was a continuous exchange of ideas between my dad and this beloved brother: my uncle got married in a black shirt and after years of brotherly conflict, my uncle cut all his black-shirted presence from the wedding photos. There was then a Jewish bourgeoisie who had joined fascism. My uncle, after losing his whole family to racist laws, found himself with remorse of having joined in his youth the fascism that had killed his father, his mother and his only brother. If there is still anti-fascism?

“I am one of the very latest in the world and with pessimism and realism I say that the Shoah it will be dealt with in one line in the history books, then there won’t be that either, “continued the senator.” I would like you to let me guide you in the Holocaust memorial, I was there “, she added to the host. “It will be an honor and we will share it with the television audience”, Fazio replied.

As for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict“I’m not optimistic: the invader has a huge guilt. I have such a horror of war, it reminds me of what it brings, so I’m unable to do anything and identify with Ukrainians losing their homes, their loved ones, photos, books, in short, things that are everyday life. I would like to say ‘Halt’ but I did not understand who can have the strength after the Pope spoke and the heads of state spoke but the war continues “.

“I am very careful, I am interested in these things. I have seen the Maneskin they are very smart guys, I like their music even if I don’t understand that ‘Shut up and good’, I have to study the lyrics … “.” How Maneskin interests me Chiara Ferragni, which has 27 million followers. I’m not on social media, stay calm “, she added smiling.” Ferragni was very nice to me and she was humble, she listened to me she was an affectionate niece; I have only male grandchildren, “she concluded.
