Segre v.concerned abt populism

(ANSA) - Vatican City, January 27 - Holocaust survivor and life Senator Liliana Segre, 89, told Vatican News on Monday, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, that she is "very concerned" about the "reemergence of feelings of hate". Segre said "this wave isn't anomalous" but is due to the economic crisis and "also the result of very wrong teachings, of sovereignism (nationalism) and populism".
    "Young people, learn not to listen to those who yell the loudest," she said.
    Pope Francis also said "remembrance is dutiful" on this day.
    Rome on Friday became the latest Italian city to make Segre an honorary citizen.
    Segre survived Auschwitz as a girl.
    She was named senator for life by President Sergio Mattarella on 19 January 2018.
    Born into a Milanese Jewish family in 1930, Segre was expelled from her school after the promulgation of the Italian Racial Laws in 1938.
    In 1943 she was arrested with many members of her family and deported to Auschwitz.
    After 1990 she started to speak to the public, especially young people, about her experience.
    Segre was recently given a police escort after anti-Semitic threats against her.
