Luigi Ferri: The Survival of a 12-year-old Italian Child at Auschwitz – Il Giorno della Memoria
776 Italian children under the age of 14 were deported to Auschwitz. Only 25 survived the gas chambers. Luigi Ferri was one of them.
As the child of mixed marriage he could have avoided deportation, but he refused to abandon his beloved Jewish grandmother when she was arrested in June 1944 in Trieste.
