The world of hate is so vast and ever-expanding. An avalanche of hatred that drives people to send messages to a 96-year-old, after everything that's happened, including wars around the world and all the horrific mistakes I'd like to condemn on all sides, writing, 'Why don't you die?'

Senator for life Liliana Segre said this during a conference at the Shoah Memorial.

Threats, he added, like those he'd received on the phone in 1938, before his deportation . "I can't and wouldn't want to go on any longer," but "I didn't expect that after everything that's happened, at 96 years old, someone would still write to me like this."

"I remember too well the day I entered, a prisoner" for a government that "persecuted," she said . "I'm not missing a limb, but in my head I'm still the same. I can't change. It's part of me from beginning to end ."
