Join us in welcoming author Elizabeth Bettina as we explore her novel It Happened in Italy, a remarkable true story sparked by the author’s unexpected discovery that her grandmother’s small village once sheltered and saved hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust. Bettina’s journey uncovers long-hidden acts of courage, compassion, and quiet defiance as she brings to light the extraordinary Italians who risked everything to protect their Jewish neighbors.
