International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2025: LILIANA

On the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Consulate General of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival, organize a special commemoration ceremony with the screening of the documentary Liliana (84' Italy, 2024) directed by Ruggero Gabbai, who will be in attendance.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Ruggero Gabbai moderated by Hilary Helstein, Director of the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival.

Liliana retraces the testimony of life senator Liliana Segre linked to her arrest, deportation and poignant final farewell to her father. The film is based on juxtapositions, cross-references and contrasts between the historical account and the contemporary portrait of one of the most important women on the Italian scene. The docu-film highlights lesser-known aspects of the senator, revealing a modern cultural and political figure who is passionate about conveying a message of freedom and equality to the younger generations.
