not out in the hospital, we had a clandestine radio coolie for new times now and then some generals would sneak in to use it all on my yeah. they were in hiding and they kept contact with the resistant guys guys. and when i had organized a club destin radio, communicate with green dizzy, where an allied command center was the doctor's when the hiding jewish refugees in the hospital supplied guns and information were smuggled in and out on a regular basis because they sci fi is what led many to seek protection in the hospital. initially, the threat was posed by the crashes police off the germans occupied room. the nazis brought in their own policing unit. the shoot stuff for known as the ss which had begun as hitler's personal hand picked bodyguard. played by

henry himmler, it became the most feed organization throughout europe using staunch anti semitism and brutality as its main weapons. the chief of the s, as in rome, habit hapless kepler, had wooden through the ranks of the 5th because he was smart and ruthless. he get the total rate on the jewish ghetto and deported more than $1000.00 italian jews to ash whits. but he didn't stop their contemporary account. talk about german soldiers actually being fairly friendly. they had demanded 50 kilograms of gold from the jewish community in exchange for protection. the jewish community, rome did gather the 50 kilograms of gold, in fact, little bit more and were given the false impression that this would secure their protection. and really it was just a ruse by the nazis who had planned to be rounding up and trying to the court,

italian and robin to him. the some one does not know when the issue with the gold started. i was in fact they've been in for tele hospital, i was already sleeping there and i told everyone i could well don't trust them, but they all thought they were safe because they've given them their goal. or maybe i'm was up on the 16th 943, the if this graded the jewish ghetto. my mother dressed me and my brother who was 3 years younger than me. and we escaped. scott said that the 12th with a prayer when he was alerted early in the morning of october 16th round up and that he was taken by surprise. it is all though we were small children, we sense that we were escaping from someone or something. but we didn't understand

who we were escaping from a lot or why keith, come they come out of me. a friar came calling me and i thought it was for some patients with bitches. but he said doctor, come. and they're taking the jews away. a call today, i'm assuming a lot. so we ran to the analysis lab which looked out on the piano to us, and bartolomeo benefits. so just somebody in the visit and we saw a tall german asset with a machine gun and dragging a little boy away. when i mean the b, as the jews were being rated, there was this mother screaming to her child to run away the most painful you run away, does it run away down the job and the child ran away. scott now was just a minute here. he has the been,

nazis had no respect for anyone idea at least the way they oh no, any that. and we could see from, via the 10 p o is all these groups of june are in for the most part, women, children, and elderly people occupy with just a little luggage every day. and it's actually not. and they were dragged away in front of the synagogue. so i will say that they are living with the jewish community in rome at that time was approximately 13000 people. and on october 16th, over a 1000 were deported to see, i mean, the jewish community around was so strong as a light on one another. and this was a factor and having the courage and the confidence to resist, to hide. there were some phone calls and people started escaping monasteries con,

neighbors of all kinds really didn't reach out to help their jewish neighbors reveal it again. but i guess it was right in front of the hospital and they were rating it and taking jewish people away to save them, i admitted them into the hospital as patient and put them in bed, so i rescued them, let them run inside and i managed to hide a lot of jewish people in the hospital by the name of antonio, around 11 a. m some june started coming to the hospital. they were looking for me in order to be admitted. they knew about me a little. ready bit of my father said let's try to find victoria such a dock or a doctor, not medical but as for the benefit, eli hospital, there was a jewish doctor. friend of mine is gamma. his name was victoria touch dotty.

he was much appreciated by the for even though they knew he was jewish shop indicated, but he'll know about it goes up. what did my father do? he did something very unusual mental and he came up with a disease which was totally imaginary. he said it was very dangerous, aggressive road, degenerative around named in a syndrome k 11 matter model the car that could have stood a german kernel complex. these get the phone. so we decided their disease was to be called syndrome k u k was the initial of castle ring, the german armies chief in italy. but it could also stand for cost of the tv or tape which is cancer in german. so we could turn it around as we like what

we need and they all started with the letter k. the just k was the 1st letter of cobbler, which was the name of the s s colonel in rome and capital in the general. it was a way of messing with them, but it was quite a way to humiliate them in class. but this wasn't again, no matter what you got. but syndrome k was an illness invented by professor borrow, mail room mail. it was highly infectious, even though it wasn't real well laura knew where the idea was to scare and worry the not css because they were very afraid of being near anyone with a highly contagious disease. and i went to the games. i chose my headache, nausea, vomiting, those were the main symptoms, some of those. but because he was such a good doctor,

he was able to invent the symptoms and progression of this disease. and to make the incredible they didn't necessarily seek permission from the vatican. it was an fantine, his instinctive thing to let these families in, and often monasteries and convents when alerts the vatican after the fact that it's dedicated a small section of the beanie for tele hospital and turned it into an isolated unit to house the jews who he said were just in the room, k, go math fence, you got a modem. letting me assist believe that with the elite, the ideal of manhood, they were terrified by this jewish disease. they stayed clear of the ward and did their investigating from the other side at the doors, the doctor for the charts and documents flawlessly. and if they had more pressing concerns, jewish men, women, and children,

let the patients be if they're going to die anyway, there was no reason to waste time on them. the jewish fugitives was safe, at least for the moment, but this was no way for anyone to leave me for me and said that about and then the fear began. yes, i was saved. but what were we going to do to me? we couldn't move freely anymore. because there were germans, everywhere. you're going to 9 was 4 years old with my family as refugees hiding in the hospital and daily a lot as somebody last. so we stayed at for the benefit of my mother, my little sister, gena. and i have, you know, that i got a, i had several family members in the hospital that get all part of my extended family from just catch up here to point they didn't stay in the hospital the whole

time. this is sandra beaker, small print shop, and truss david a. where he began to fabricate all sorts of false documents and make them look genuine. many devices in the meant the fast ticket that at the same documents were actually real as far as the seal was concerned. so going to the names were changed. in the grant pacified documents, he would change their names and then finally he would discharge them and send them to the local convents and they will then there was this ongoing friendship between my father and giovanni, but the montagnier one tv did something extremely brave. he gave my father and identification card, recognizing him as a noble guard of the pope, which my father wasn't sure i'm not sure that you were. he gave him this idea that the germans who wanted to be in good standing with the vatican,

would consider it as proving his credentials and essentially protected him in seattle. and of course it was a fake id, but it had a valid seal of the vatican. as you can see, here is the signature of giovanni battista, montane, secretary of state of the holy sea. but the stomach in the secretary of his thoughts. i read that, but if he didn't have that time, the pope preferred to maintain a low profile instead of asking for example, speaking out in a public way. on october 16th 1943. as he watches the jews be rounded up hundreds of yards away, he made a small diplomatic protest, a quiet diplomatic protest. he did not speak publicly in any way that might have made a difference to the lives of the jews, but not at home. but he was also

a hope for political. pope considered many aspects. first of all, he had to save rome and he had to save himself. how do i know not the vatican was not all silent. renewed his friendship between my father in the future. pope paul, the sick body. battista martinis was very useful and the team was willing to be part of this mission to help reduce their matter with us. and in fact, the clergy helped the jews in a way we can't even imagine you are in a very open way more international and many jews were saved by priests and by convent then my father could not have accomplished any of that without support from the vatican. i mean, where could you have put all those jews wherever they made people were talking

about more than 100 jones that were saving me after the october 1943 deportation. then there were no illusion. roman jews knew exactly what in the nazi mind they were in for and they were if they weren't already very vigilant and hiding they after that point they all were and they knew what can be in store for them. ah, the law is a day after the german capture of rome. i took the last name is talbot youtube. you'll check the news that said there was a reward out and i was worth, but 25 and 10000 lead a back. then the rooms filled supplies ran low. the assist became suspicious,

although the doctors were working under constant fear of exposure, they had to be brave to prevent any more shots from being taken. the stephen says, nancy says the special forces, the most highly specialized unit of the special forces began to suspect that there was something going on at the hospital. and i guess i need to get some medical records on me. long theory, the vatican because of the neutral state, had property, had territory, had buildings that were often the dfcs near the plate by the rooms. nobody and my father went to meet them personally and just scored them to the hospital. among them was her doctors and ended german interpreters. they were coming to verify whether or not there were any fake patients. so my father took them on a tour of every part of the hospital explaining to them what was going on with

certain patients. eventually they got to the syndrome k ward and my father said to them, look at these patients unit are suffering from a terrible disease. it's highly contagious. extremely aggressive causing neurological degeneration with dramatic effect. but if you want us to go in, i guess we can go in coordination that matches several. lemme lemme see when they came, but i had all the patience lying in their beds with the papers signed on them to playing on each one drawn k a who josh will tell all the jewish refugees a coffee coffee that way they will see that you were all very sick, they were terrified by the possibility of contracting this contagion and moved away from the ruined probably that one of the longer the germans occupied

room, the moon age. the italians became the word of artillery for him from guy spread quickly to terrifying, unfamiliar sounds. of screaming, plain and deafening explosions reminded nobody, it was safe, not even within the wounds to be in. the fish was beginning to unravel the claims to the fictitious disease. the allies copy. syndrome k patients were too full raised against time. but all they could do was white and hugged by some of them there was bombing to the left, but the thought they'd been in for a tele hospital had become a perfect observation, appointed by them in rome. once the bustling metropolis, one of you just was experiencing family. parents were literally risking their lives to feed their children. it became hand to melt the bible for many.

ah. then we were all against the germans. possible for you always hoped they would be defeated. point up, but then they started advancing again. as of the allied forces was slowly moving north using the treacherous terrain to his advantage. general catherine placed his military fortifications in a series of lines of defense across italy, became known as the winter line, comprising troops, concrete, bunker, machine, gun turrets, and mine. field. getting through these barricades was the only path to run a desperate for liberation with each day and that the german occupation, the living conditions in the italian capital was that rome was deprived, staffed, and oppressed if only they could hold out until the allies deprived the bad yet italy was isolated, was no mail,

no telephone at the last, we were in the dark about everything school. i remember there was a time when in my own home and there was no laughter known. there was no joy and quite apart from the start ation and there was starve ation. we had nothing to eat, it can see net and jabbing the basically whether we live a long life or short life, at some point it must end soon back. but i thought you'd be able to tell the hospital was running out of options. you could only fully offense for so long. ah,

the allied forces took down the line soon after the winter line fell entirely. it had been exhausting for months. the fighting claiming 90000 allied casualties to victory hard force. but the troops could not rest. rome was waiting in time was finding out the move to the the did not see didn't stand a chance the, the beach i thought the that accomplish their mission threatening the german, rare. and some of them to fall back. the road to rome was lined with the records of

nazi which lasted vital idea that they fled before the reunited i use with general mark clark at the helm, the u. s. army piled up victory after 3 on its advance to the italian capital, leaving the ruins, the german defense in its wake, the germans had no choice to ring in the remaining not the full displayed as fast as they could. fail was taken by italian under ashes show, the evacuation of one of the greatest growth. christy. what is that? when i say the adams made i was on medical duty for the resistance before going on,

the duty i had gone to be out of and on top of that is that those are the and there i witnessed the defeat of the german army they were ruined. with this jesus, those old years who had once pointed their machine guns that i need with their helmets and uniform on or now facing defeat of all adults. most of the stuff it was an army defeat and they feel in single file. find the other. some horses holding carriage out, it was a complete defeat and the entry in the room was made as the wheels of the mighty invasion machine ready to drive through the city to get away from the great victory about it and a wonderful achievement on june. 4th

1944, the laid by the american, the much into ron. the celebrated him. it was a huge close. for the city is no longer it was the end of the oppression. i think the general feeling towards the allies is a positive one and has always been positive since the end of the war. the pope's role has been highly critique them, debated the role of the allies in liberation and italy much less so the pipe finally account to give free from his blessing the

recently and received an audience. so those are the 4000 men, mostly roman catholics, heard an address from the pond to spoken english. you had stevens now already dinner, and that certainty over live in the wall, maybe one team and the harder we close to the 3 syndrome k. dr. giovanni bought a male genie and victoria such a doughty could finally give up the deception syndrome. k patient could leave the ward, had to be in if the tele did what a hospital is supposed to do, could save the lives of many and present many more for generations to come. after the war general, i would, catherine was tried for crimes and rained on 2 charges,

the shooting of $335.00 italians in the d, a t in america, an incitement to kill italian civilians. in $947.00, the court found him guilty of those charges and sentenced him to death. the sentence was committed and he was later pardoned capital. it was arrested by british authorities in 1945, and turned over to the italian government in 1947. in 1948, he was tried by an italian military tribunal and sentenced to life imprisonment in the gate and military jail. the me, 80 percent of roman jews survived. and one can really say that this is because of the benevolence. a good italian people a lot. that's why the jewish community has never forgotten. it

forges a connection. but they benefit tele on tiber island, and the jewish community brown may be just 200 meters of part. it says if they were part of a single structure, different the, the, me, me about it. my father used to say there was only one race, the human race. 0, one day, many years later i asked my mother mamma, you weren't too scared. most of my men on every she answered so scared, but it had to be done. and i fat pietro bought me, i had a successful law trying to invest a book about syndrome k to pay tribute. his father's legacy. he passed away aged 84
