Over 22 multi-ethnic groups served on the Advisory committee for this conference held at New York University. Professor Claudio Segre, whose father had left Italy with Enrico Fermi joined Professor Paul Bookbinder in the presentation of "Christian Jewish Relations and the Holocaust in Southern Europe." Survivor Imre Rochlitz from Rome, Italy described how the Italians had taken him and his family from the Island of Rab to Italy to save them. Other survivors recapped the generosity of the Italians in helping them to survive.
