Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Liliana Segre, whose testimony anchors the film, is a Holocaust survivor who became an Italian senator-for-life and relentless anti-fascist campaigner.
The directors specifically sought child actors who hadn't experienced antisemitism to capture raw, unguarded reactions to discovering this history.
