Auschwitz survivor and life
Senator Liliana Segre said Monday of the social media haters who
post an average 200 racist messages a day against her that they
are "people to be pitied or treated".
Segre, 89, said "I'm a polite person, I don't know any
language other than that".
Segre was speaking ahead of a seminar at Milan's IULM
University.
Segre was named Senator for life by president Sergio
Mattarella on 19 January 2018.
Born into a Milanese Jewish family in 1930, Segre was
expelled from her school at the age of eight after the
promulgation of Italian Racial Laws in 1938.
In 1943, at 13, she was arrested with many members of her
family and deported to Auschwitz.
After 1990 she started to speak to the public, especially
young people, about her experiences.
