The news was anticipated by the senator's staff manager, Maria Paola Gargiulo, to 'Il Ducato', the online newspaper of the IFG of Urbino. Among the last boys who met the senator for life, deported to Auschwitz, those of the fifth classes of the 'Laurana-Baldi' high school of the humanities of the Marche city, two days ago."Liliana Segre is proven after 30 years of continuous appointments", but this "does not mean that she will not continue to testify to her experience". This is explained by the son of the life senator who survived Auschwitz. Luciano Belli Paci said that the senator at 89 years of age, the last 30 of whom have lived with continuous appointments, is proven, but she is planning a "last, great meeting" in a few months in the province of Arezzo.
"We can never thank Liliana Segre enough for sharing her suffering with courage and trust, without revenge or pacification. To tell to understand which side to be on." So the group leader in the Chamber of the Democratic Party, Graziano Delrio, on Twitter.
After returning from Auschwitz, Segre had not wanted to tell the horrors seen and experienced in the concentration camp for a long time, "but once I became a grandmother and understood not to feel hate, but pity for my torturers I felt ready to tell all what I saw with my own eyes ".
The last public appointments of the senator for life had brought her yesterday to Milan, to the prison of San Vittore where at 13 she was locked up before moving to the concentration camp, for the ceremony of laying the stumbling block for Andrea Schivo, prison guard killed in Flossemburg for helping Jewish detainees.
