Seeing as the hues of black and red might be an immediate detractor for many readers of this blog. If anyone (who even visits this page,) happens upon…
“It Happen In Italy,” provides an interesting array of accounts of how the Italian population defied the horrors of the Holocaust, by not allowing members of the Jewish population to be taken captive by the Nazi’s.
