I found many photographs at my father's when I cleared his cupboards after his death. Some came from my grandfather in Peschiera, others are memories from the past seventy years.

| Gorizia 1943: Caterina Madriz, Liliana Schiff, with (in the foreground) Sergio Schiff, Luciana Schiff and Silvana Schiff. My grandfather was still in hiding, and my mother was luckily to escape the roundup of the Jews in Gorizia |
"When the German occupation began in September 1943, Jews who were most aware of the danger moved elsewhere or went into hiding, while the old, the sick, and those without adequate means remained at home and were arrested and deported. The first arrests and imprisonment occurred in September 1943. There followed the roundup of November 23, in which 22 people were arrested, imprisoned at Coroneo in Trieste, and deported to Auschwitz on December 7. In the following months, other Gorizian Jews who had gone into hiding there or in other Italian towns and cities such as Ferrera, Genoa, and Florence, were caught. In all, 47 Jews from Gorizia were deported, of whom only two, Iris Steinmann and Giacomo Jacoboni, returned."
