The senator for life and the Jews as “ideal enemy”
Liliana Segre often asks herself: “Why must I always feel like the ideal enemy?” He did it again yesterday at the Tempio Adriano in Rome during the presentation of the book by journalist Nathania Zevi The ideal enemy. “Many years have passed, but I read in Nathania's book about things that still happen every day, I wouldn't want to be here to answer the questions, but I would like to ask them,” the senator told life under custody. “At 94, I am considered a Zionist secret agent,” she said, remembering a sign that appeared recently at a pro-Palestinian demonstration. “So much so that I thought about doing 007 makeup with dark glasses and a raincoat, I think I will do it for my hundredth birthday. In reality, we have no desire to laugh.”
The ideal enemy
For Segre, it is “absurd that the Jews of the diaspora are considered guilty of what is happening in Israel, we are considered guilty, the ideal enemy”, says La Stampa today. The senator for life talks about her return from Auschwitz: “At 14, I was already very old. And now, at 94, I am a person who has seen where anti-Semitism leads, this hatred that never goes away. My way of surviving, my philosophy, is to put one leg in front of the other, that’s the only answer I can give.”
