In this powerful episode, we bring you the voices of young Italians who chose to resist Fascism and Nazi occupation during World War II. Some came from Catholic backgrounds, others from Communist families — but all shared a deep sense of justice and courage. Among them was Camillo De Piaz, a young priest who stood with students, workers, and future political leaders as they took their first steps into resistance.
Their memories, recorded decades later, form a rich tapestry of conscience, risk, and silent rebellion.
