My Italian Secret: The Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust – Movie and Panel Discussion In-Person
Would you risk your life to save a stranger? The 2014 documentary, My Italian Secret: The Forgotten Heroes, recounts how Italian citizens helped to rescue Jews, partisans, and refugees in Nazi-occupied Italy. One of these stories involves Gino Bartali, a Tour de France-winning cyclist, who helped to transfer documentation for hidden Jews in the frame of his bicycle while pretending to train for a competition. Another story centers on Dr. Giovanni Borromeo, who invented a fictitious disease to scare the SS away from the hospital where he was hiding Jews. An interdisciplinary panel discussion will follow the screening of this documentary film.
