  • Yona Amit was born in 1938, in Fiume, Northern Italy (today Rijeka, Croatia), to a modern orthodox Jewish family. Following the German conquest of Northern italy, Yona's family left Fiume, reaching the town of Bagnacavallo, where they went into hiding with the Tambini family. Residents of the town hid other Jews as well. When suspicion arose that their hiding place had been revealed, the Tambini family moved Yona and her family member into hiding with the Dalla Valle family. Later Yona, her brother, sister, and cousin were moved to a convent in the city of Lugo, under assumed identities. After about a year in the convent, the family members reunited in order to try and cross the border to neutral Switzerland, with the aid of Lidia Cattaneo, who supplied them with false papers and arranged for their travel to the border. After an arduous and dangerous journey through the Alps, Yona and her family managed to reach Switzerland. After the end of the war the family returned to Italy, immigrating to Israel in 1950. Yona is an educator and delivers testimony.

    Your story is so amazing Yona.
    And the families of Bagnocavallo that were hiding 30 families were real Christians.
    There are not a lot of righteous people in this world.
    Thank you for telling us your and your families journey, Yona.
    We shall never forget xxx 🙏

    Never feel guilty for surviving where so many others died .You represent the hope of the future and recilience of the human spirit embrace that hope and know because you were able to have a family and also tell the story of your life as you expeirenced it but also the story of those who did not survive all those stories and not just tragic but also remembrance and above all else stories such as yours is hope and light not just sadness and loss. Thank you and all other survivors for telling us your stories because of that we can hopefully prevent anything as vile as the Nazi regieme from ever rearing its ugly hateful head again.We can be the voiceof reason against anti semitismn and all other prejudices.Thank you for that.

      @@msjackiefriedman Everything and anything which happens in this world and beyond happens only if god wants it to happen. . If god did not wanted, Holocaust would not have happened.. There is no question about it, naturally you would be disagreeing with this but its the truth, even Jews themselves believe in this sad truth

    A wonderful story of Yona and her family, of their dangerous trek out of the dangers of war and of Nazi's hunting down their people, to kill or send to death camps. "God Bless" Yona's parents and family, and also all the many people, and their families, who took the chance and goodness to hide and save Yonas family and the other hunted Jews, at risk to their own lives. Yona's youngest son, its terribly sad he didn't get to live long enough to create his own family branch and bloodline. But then again, he died honorably.. he gave his life for his county. To do his honorable duty with his brothers and sisters in arms, in keeping his country free for his surviving familys linage, his siblings, and for generations after them.. as all young men and women in Arms has done for generations. Its sad Yona's father couldn't look at his son like this. Any people in Arms, in training, medics, or fighting in the front lines, they are all Heros.

    שלום לך יונה עמית היקרה. ריתקת אותי בספור ילדותך שהיה דומה לשלי. אני ילידת 1936 בסלובקיה, חוויתי מחבוא ומחנה רכוז בגטו טרזיינשטאט. גם אני מתייסרת עם השאלה- למה אני שרדתי ואחרים נספו.

    It is quite natural that Yad Vashem only recorded the holocaust pain for the Jews only, but there were another six million victims of few other categories whose stories are equally painful and nobody is there to tell about their cry.
