About the Film
Liliana tells the extraordinary life story of Liliana Segre, one of the last surviving Italian witnesses of the Holocaust and a lifelong advocate for memory, justice, and human dignity. Through archival footage and intimate testimony, the film traces her childhood, deportation to Auschwitz, survival, and decades-long commitment to bearing witness—transforming personal trauma into a universal call for awareness and responsibility.
Directed with sensitivity and depth by Ruggero Gabbai, Liliana is both a historical document and a profoundly human portrait. The film invites audiences to confront the past while reflecting on the importance of remembrance in shaping a more just and compassionate future.
