“As long as my star shines”
Liliana Segre is an Italian Senator, but she is more than this. She is an Auschwitz survivor.
She was born in Milan in 1930 and belonged to a rich family. When the Fascism Racial Laws passed in 1938, she couldn’t go to school anymore and her family lost everything they had.
She was afraid because she didn’t know that place and because all this was the beginning of a great negative change in her life.
There were a lot of German and Italian soldiers. She left on a train with another 605 people to go to Auschwitz.
The journey wasn’t comfortable because the people were in the cattle carriages. After a week, she arrived at the death camp.
