Groundbreaking research project opens new avenues to understand survival.
During the past ten years, historian Liliana Picciotto has lead a groundbreaking research project at the Center for Contemporary Jewish Documentation in Milan: the development of a database of case-studies to analyze the ways in which Jews survived in Italy during the Fascist and Nazi persecution. The project, funded by a grant from Andrew Viterbi and Erna Finci Viterbi, resulted in a database and a book Salvarsi, published by Einaudi in 2017.
