“I have understood this anti-Semitism all my life, hidden, concealed. Anti-Semitism has always existed, and this was the perfect opportunity to unleash it in all respects and in all environments.” Senator for life Liliana Segre said this, commenting on the intensification of anti-Semitic episodes after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 in an exclusive interview with La7. When asked by journalist Marianna Aprile whether anti-Semitism can be eradicated, the senator for life replied: “I think it cannot be eradicated.”

“A young woman must be very sure of herself, never be anyone’s slave,” Segre continued. “The first time someone does a very small thing, even a little pat on the cheek, the woman must send that person away. She must not trust a man who touches her, except in a loving way. The woman must be free, she must work and not depend on anyone. Economic independence is very important, even learning a trade if you don’t have a degree.”
