Abstract:
Recounts the experiences of Sofia Kaufmann Schafranov, a Jew who was born in Yalta (Crimea) in 1891, from the time of her deportation from Italy in 1943 through her internment in Auschwitz. Cavaliere (1897-1967) was a friend of hers and a journalist; he conducted an interview with Schafranov when she returned from the camps. In December 1943, she was arrested by the Nazis in the northern Italian town of Sondalo, where she worked as a doctor at a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. Her mother, Etta, was also arresed, as well as another Jewish doctor at the sanatorium, Bianca Morpurgo.
