The traditional religious and vibrant working-class Jewish community that Segre describes, alas, no longer exists but will live forever in the pages of this wonderful book.\"—\u003ci\u003eJewish Book World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Segre's fascinating narrative enables us to understand some things about the Italian Jewish community, especially its horrible experiences just before and during World War II.
