St. Francis College alumnus Vincent DeGiaimo ’72 returns to his alma mater for a screening of his film “My Italian Secret: The Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust.” DeGiaimo and Vincent Marmorale are producers of the film, which is part of the college’s annual Yom HaShoah-Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration and is a presentation of the Thomas J. Volpe Lecture Series.

“My Italian Secret” tells the story of how brave Italians saved approximately 80 percent of Jewish people living in Italy, as well as refugee Jews. The film also personifies the actions of individual Italians — especially in the city of Assisi — where many Jews were rescued and kept from deportation and death.
