A Paolo Del Debbio unpublished that guest of Serena Borton until today is another day. On Rai 1, in the episode broadcast on October 26, the conductor of Rete 4 reports on the terrible experiences of his father Velio during the National Socialist era. “Mine was a very modest family, but both were grateful for life – he began to tell -. My father spent two years in a Nazi concentration camp. Some of them. they came out dead or the great majority were transported to the death camps and came out dead.
Even for those who were saved, coming back to life was not easy. As Del Debbio explained: “Many went mad the head burst during this time, before these pictures. They created an alternate world that didn’t last long, because with the first blow you returned to reality.” It is no coincidence that the father always struggled to tell the horrible past. A time that Velio tried to endure without ever losing his dignity.” He shaved every morning to show his tormentors that he maintained his dignity. He’s back wounded but not folded“.
Among the many acts of violence suffered was “beaten with sticks and left naked and associated with the common cold. His fault? Even shaved “Jews whose glasses kept breaking.” Nevertheless, his zest for life never disappeared: “When I heard his story, I was small, I was 15 years old, but I certainly went to read books afterwards and found out. I understood that he managed to remain a man even after he was in hell.”
