- Summary
- Memoirs of a Jew who was born in London in 1925 to a wealthy Italian family. Her father was the representative of the Banca d'Italia in Britain. In 1934 the family (parents and three children) returned to Rome. Due to the Racial Laws of 1938, Nathan's father lost his job and the passports of the family were confiscated. From 1938 to 1943 they lived under harsh conditions. With the occupation of Rome by the Germans in September 1943, the family fled to a mountain village (Avezzano), but shortly after they returned to Rome. They were hidden in convents and clerical seminaries, and in the homes of friends. In May 1944 the father was taken prisoner by a fascist group and liberated after a month, before the American troops entered Rome.
