To Elisa Springer
   

In the winter of 2004, Elisa and I went on a tour of conferences in northern Italy. It was cold, there was snow on the ground.

We spoke from stages - the people listened to us and their reaction was one of mixed feelings - they observed the strange couple; the Jew who had escaped Auschwitz and the guiltless daughter of a war criminal - underlining the deep friendship between us, a friendship which was for many, something strange, embarassing, incomprehensible.

Our feelings were real, however, going beyond History, deaf and superficial prejudices and the prepackaged and calcified opinions of rigid, inflexible minds.

Goodbye, dear friend. I will not forget you.

 
Our dedication, our words have led to our two lives meeting, made of silence.
With immense affection, your Elisa,
Matera, 15/12/97
