A planned meeting in Rome...
...which will, I think, prove to be of considerable interest. I am meeting a gentleman who, as a small boy during World War II, was hidden in a Rome convent, along with other members of his Jewish family. You will read the results of our conversations in due course...it is very important indeed that the truth about the plight of Rome's Jewish community during WWII is told, and tribute paid to them and to the courage of those who helped to shelter and rescue them.

Looking forward to it!
Dear Auntie Joanna,
Your upcoming interview from Rome sounds fascinating. I remember reading THE SCARLET AND THE BLACK by J.P.Gallagher. It was the true story of an Irish priest in the Vatican, Msgr. Hugh O'Flaherty, who organized an underground network during WWII to hide Jews & POWs in Rome. I loved the 1983 film (now DVD) of the same name starring Gregory Peck & Christopher Plummer.
