Ante el dolor de los demás
On August 12, 1944, a Nazi German battalion invaded the Italian village of Sant’Anna di Stazzema, located in the Apuan Alps, and perpetrated a brutal massacre that claimed the lives of 560 residents and refugees, most of them women, girls and boys. Adele Pardini was barely four years old when she miraculously escaped execution. Her sister, Siria, aged nine, was also saved by being in the camp with her father on that fateful day. This atrocity was not an isolated event, but was repeated in other villages in Tuscany and throughout Italy. Adele and Siria told me their story. How to tell this tragedy?
