E. Graziani Lecturing at Holocaust Education Week, Toronto

This year I was invited to lecture at the North York Central Library on the theme, Liberation: Aftermath & Rebirth, with a particular focus on the first hand experiences of my mother and her Nazi occupied village during WWII. The audience will consist of young adults ages 13-16. I am humbled by this opportunity to share my mother's experiences with a whole new generation of young people, so that they may never forget the horrors of Italian fascism and Nazi atrocities in WWII Europe.
