Anna Foa

Anna Foa (born in Turin, December 23, 1944) is an Italian historian, author of numerous studies on the cultural history of the early modern age and on the history of Jews in Italy and more broadly in Europe. She has always been committed to preserving memory, teaching history, and raising awareness among younger generations about the historical truth of events related to the Shoah and the deportation to concentration and extermination camps. Quotes "Antisemitism in the world is a constant that resurfaces in waves." “They are images that bring to mind Biafra of the late 1960s and — I venture to say this even though I until now have refused comparisons with the Shoah — images of Jewish deportees in the camps. They are the images of hunger that leads to death.” “The book is intended for young people and for anyone who cannot understand the reason behind the ongoing tragedy.” “It is not a negative thing, because its aim is to emphasize that Israel is heading toward destruction, and this is not only the fault of the terrorists, but also the fault of a government on a path to self-destruction. This is a statement of truth, with the hope of stopping it through words.” Internal link
