Amato Billour | Teachers Who Rescued Jews During the Holocaust | "Their Fate Will Be My Fate Too..." | Yad Vashem
A Firenze visse Amato Billour, insegnante di Inglese. Con la moglie Letizia tenne con se il figlio di Hulda Campagnano.
"Reuven stayed with the teacher and his wife for almost a year, from December 1943 until August 1944. The Billours were very kind and sensitive to all his needs, and he soon began calling them “father” and “mother”. Contact was kept with his mother, and from time to time meetings were arranged in public places so that Hulda could meet her son, who was now called “Emilio”. When Florence was liberated in August 1944, Reuven was returned to his mother, but he never forgot the Billours and their love for him."
