"First of all I want to say that I have a great love for Liliana, regardless of the rationality, judgment about the things of life. It is as if it were a person of the family, as if it were an aunt, the sister of my father."
She and his father were in the same concentration camp?
"Yes, they were at Auschwitz-Birkenau. But you are not known. She was smaller and came out that she was a girl. My father I have seen even today. And a little bigger. Has 95 years and I was not almost recognized. Unfortunately, or fortunately, dare I say, understands nothing of what happens around him. With regard to these insults, I, as much as he has had a life more happy and easy of the survivors, I know well the question of why are also I every day harassed. For my being jewish, for my battles against discrimination, to be the son of an Auschwitz survivor. It is difficult to say what I think. I believe that there is a part of evil in man and in our communities that will not be disposable. The only medicines that work are the knowledge, the culture, the explanation".
You spoke with the senator?
"Two days ago. We spoke of our commitment as parliamentarians to do to rebuild the Italian pavilion in the camp of Auschwitz. It had been constructed in the post-war period and it was taken away. We'll talk with the chairman of the Board and with the minister of Culture. The most horrible thing that comes out from a part of the web is to try to say that what the survivors tell it is all fake. An activity that began the holocaust deniers half a century ago and that continues. This is what offends. And me, who are younger, to hear me say in the face would lead to a physical reaction against those who falsify or deny the history. Luckily we have a law on holocaust denial".
In the last parliament had tabled a project is very much contested, against the apology of fascism...
"On that standard against the apology of fascism you will see soon a new. Our time can not afford to be weak on the risk that ideas are the worst of the last century are touted with the greatest of ease. The proposal can be taken up and are ready to listen to proposals of changes that come from forces such as the Five-Star hotel at the end had voted against".
Facebook announces restrictions...
"Facebook has done a transaction in contention by closing the sites of Apple and Forza Italia. Even if it seems to me that he did so because these encourage the use of violence. I, however, and I refer to Giacomo Matteotti, I think that fascism is not an idea, it is a crime. You have to tell what happened in camps in the schools. If you do not understand that those who arrived to this level of violence were men like us, be human as we are, you are likely to remain oblivious to things that happen today."
Tuesday, the Senate begins to discuss the Commission on anti-semitism that asks for your Liliana Segre. It will end up in the bottom? The majority will?
"yes, Absolutely. I believe that in the Parliament on this idea there will be no problems with the minority. I believe that all the political forces represented in Parliament have certain limit that must not be crossed".
Salvini and others, we build political fortunes...
"I Suggest you not to do all the grass a bundle We are talking about hate, discrimination, and insults. But we can make a different discourse. The extreme european right, the sovranisti in europe, have made an equation very simple: to present to those who live in a condition of hardship, poverty or impoverishment, precariousness vis-à-vis the future of what happens in society, and to identify scapegoats and provides a tool to vent. Then, we must be careful, because those who make policy must weigh the words, be careful not to trigger phenomena because then there are people who do not have the tools to govern these things. It is obvious that between the two things, however, there is a link generic. In Germany, where they shot in front of a mosque, they have passed from words to deeds".
"The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence"
