Holocaust survivor and Life Senator
Liliana Segre said Monday that she has been subjected to serious
threats for some considerable time while stressing that she has
no intention of bowing to the intimidation.
"I receive crazy threats, which I have ignored for years," Segre
said during an event at the Shoah Memorial in Milan.
"And I worry about these haters, who should be protected and
taken care of.
"But I have seen everything, how can I be afraid to leave the
house?.
"I always say that I have lived in vain," she continued.
"I went to schools for 30 years to talk about what had happened
(only) to find myself at 94 years of age being told 'be careful,
stay at home'.
"I like living, I am active, I have many passions. Should I stay
at home because someone wants to kill me? No".
Segre has expressed "terrible sadness" at the "ghastly
atmosphere" triggered by the brutal and unprecedented attacks by
Hamas against Israel on October 7 and Israel's response in Gaza.
