Caesar is a child of 1930, a little ' weak and sometimes scary. He lives in Ferrara with his parents and a brother. The life of the family is wealthy and peaceful. Caesar in school, but loves the holidays, such as the summer of 1938, in the mountains, in Folgaria. Just there, the newspaper said that one morning he went to buy for Father: JEWISH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT DRAWN.. E 'on September 3. Caesar realizes that the phrase also applies to him, that his life will change. So says: "To be honest I was never a brilliant scholar, nor have I ever had a special love for the school, but I really do not will be allowed to go? I will veil their eyes. I cry? No, maybe not, but when I reach my home, I rush into the arms of her mother. The big crowd around me, startled, stunned, hurt. Even unbelievers. They read and reread the headlines, then all items. So, my father, who escaped in May 1915 home to enlist in the Italian army and fight for the unification of Italy, is no longer an Italian of the name only because he belongs to a different religion? What has the religion with the people? " (P. 27)
Il libro di Cesare Finzi è inserito in una collana per ragazzi dal mitico nome de "Gli anni in tasca" (editore Topipittori di Milano). Ma ne consiglio a tutti la lettura. Non potrà che aiutare a ricordare e molto anche ad adoperarsi affinché mai più un giorno di vacanza divenga per un bambino di otto anni il giorno buio "che cambia la vita".
