She was alone: \u200b\u200bher parents had already been deported in December. Neither of them had returned from Auschwitz.<br \/>\nMany years later, <strong>Fabrizio Rondolino<\/strong> received an email from the Diffused Museum of the Resistance in Turin: they were preparing to lay some stumbling blocks and had found, among the papers of the Delegation for the Assistance of Jewish Emigrants, a letter written in May 1946 by his grandmother, Marcella Colombo. It was a plea for help in obtaining information on the fate of her brother Sandro, his wife Wanda, and their daughter Elena. &#8220;No news of the little girl ever,&#8221; Marcella wrote.<br \/>\nRondolino began from here to reconstruct the short life of Elena, her father&#8217;s first cousin, the only Italian Jewish girl who\u2014as he learned during the investigation\u2014faced arrest, detention, and deportation alone. It&#8217;s a journey through archives, testimonies, faded photographs, and forgotten names. A journey through one&#8217;s family history in search of what lives on from the past, even if it&#8217;s just a name to remember.     <\/p>\n<p>Second- and third-grade students at the &#8220;Emanuele Artom&#8221; Middle School will attend a meeting with the author on February 16th at 11:30 a.m. at the school.<br \/>\nThe author will present the book &#8220;Elena, the story of Elena Colombo, a lonely child in the Shoah,&#8221; offering students an important opportunity to explore and reflect on a historical topic of great educational value.<br \/>\nThe activity will take place during school hours.<\/p>\n<p>The event <span style=\"color: #3d70a4;\">poster<\/span> is available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scuola Ebraica Artom, via Sant&#8217;Anselmo 7, Torino &#8211; 16 february 2026 11:30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9520,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event_category":[110,111],"ente":[153],"class_list":["post-9521","evento","type-evento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-events-in-turin","event_category-community-events","ente-scuola-ebraica"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evento\/9521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evento"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/evento"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=9521"},{"taxonomy":"ente","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torinoebraica.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ente?post=9521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
