Liliana Segre and the Remembrance Day
I’m so sorry to be 90 years old and to know that I have a few more years ahead of me, even though the haters wish me dead every day, I’m so sorry to have to give up life. Because I like my life very much.
We did not choose to attach ourselves to electrified wires in order to choose death, which would come in a second. We chose life, a very important word that should not be wasted and should never be forgotten even for a minute.
You are free people, you must think for yourselves, not for those who shout the loudest. You must not lose a single minute of this extraordinary emotion that is life.
Because in the tic-tac that is time passing, the tic is already tac.Liliana Segre
