For Freedom

Historical

What was the Resistance?

Who were the partisans? What events led Italy to take part in World War II? These are just some of the questions the author answers—while also exploring a perspective that is often overlooked: that of the young people who lived through the war. What was their daily life like? What challenges did they face? What did it mean to be a Jewish child after the racial laws were enacted? What role did boys and girls play in the fight for freedom? Through a powerful blend of historical accounts, in-depth analyses, and true stories of the young protagonists of the Resistance, this book takes readers on a journey to discover the roots of our freedom.
