People from Here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Welcome to People from Here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What we want to tell you today
is the story of two young people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of two young people
with high hopes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is Adelina,
a brilliant lawyer who works

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at a prestigious legal firm in Milan.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then there is Hector,
an industrial chemist.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The future can only smile
at Adelina and Hector.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually, their future will be
more turbulent

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
than they could have ever imagined.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As a matter of fact,
in 1938 Hector and Adelina are Jewish.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From the balcony on September 18th,
in the town of Trieste,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Benito Mussolini announced Racial Laws
for the defense of the race

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the first time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The world of those two young people
suddenly collapses under their feet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We will tell this story
about Hector and Adelina

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by memory of the eve of the day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We will tell it with the son
of Hector and Adelina, Daniele Finsi,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who in 2011, decided to donate
his parents letters, documents, memories

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to The Archives of Pieve Santo Stefano.
