Rufino Niccacci

Padre Rufino Niccacci

"There are many such stories. The picturesque town of Assisi, Italy, sheltered and protected 300 Jews. Father Rufino Niccacci organized the effort, hiding people in his monastery and in the homes of parishioners. A slip of the tongue by a single informant could have condemned the entire village to the camps, yet they did not yield", citazione dal discorso di Ronald Reagan dedicato ai superstiti dell'Olocausto "Remarks to the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors", dell'11 aprile del 1983.
