| Summary, etc |
"Anna's family fled to America years ago, escaping Mussolini's black shirts when they began rounding up Italian Jews, but Anna had stayed behind. Alone and terrified of discovery, Anna meets Father Vittorio, a Jesuit priest who takes her to shopkeepers Bernardo and Silva, an older couple who offer shelter and safety without question. But when Anna discovers that this kind, quiet couple is part of a network of ordinary people daring to help Father Vittorio smuggle Jewish citizens, stripped of their status and rights, out of Italy, she is determined to help. Anna offers skills essential to the cause: she has a deft hand at ledgers and forgery, talents she learned at the high-powered job she held before the Racial Laws were passed-a past she conceals. Working in secrecy, not knowing others' real names or sharing her own, Anna begins producing fake identity cards and soon meets another member of the operation: a man known as Mr. X., whom she recognizes instantly as the wealthy aviator Massimo Teglio. And suddenly, without warning-despite the threat of imprisonment, torture, and death-Anna finds herself taking the most dangerous of risk of all: falling in love. And she's not the only one. Based on the true story of the DELASEM-the Delegation for the Assistance of Jewish Emigrants, an organization of brave volunteers working tirelessly to save innocent lives from the concentration camps-Daughter of Genoa is a poignant look at those who loved and lost yet continued to risk everything to create a better world"-- Provided by publisher. |
