I am Counting on You, on Everyone… – Gemma Vitale Servadio

Description

This book presents the eight letters written by Gemma Servadio from Fossoli that have come down to us, curated by her granddaughter Mirella Bedarida Shapiro, with a an essay by historian Marco Coslovich

The letters Gemma Vitale Servadio wrote from Fossoli between late May and late June 1944 are not just historical documents, nor are they a mere testimony of a traumatic physical and psychological experience.

Gemma’s letters are hard to compare with anything else because they’re so simple and bare, yet not at all elementary.
