Giu-Lia - Friendship at the time of the Shoah

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a story of friendship at the time of the Shoah.

Giu-Lia is a story told without rhetoric, fictional but realistic (based on careful study of historical essays, survivors' testimonies, family memories) and the characters on the scene experience situations that are painfully true: the declaration of war, the bombings, the agonising nights in the shelters, the rationing, the displacements, the racial laws, the persecution, the deportation, the concentration camps, the return of the few, estranged from the world.

There are no real or fake heroes in this story, just ordinary people swept away by the unstoppable fate of war and death.

It is the story of a friendship between two girls, one ‘Aryan’, the other Jewish, in the difficult years between 1940 and 1945, a friendship that survives the war and the Shoah.

The show has three objectives: the obvious one of entertaining the audience; that of ‘remembering’ a period apparently far away but in reality very close (History, which has the peculiarity of repeating itself, especially in Italy is studied little and badly); and finally that of arousing emotions and thoughts.
