Milan - An 89-year-old Auschwitz survivor is now under police protection after receiving online and offline antisemitic threats in Italy.
Liliana Segre was only 13 when she was deported to Auschwitz. She is a Senator-for-life.
She recently created a parliamentary committee against hate, racism and antisemitism, known locally as the Segre Commission.
Segre has become the target of aggressive social media attacks each day lately.
She was assigned a security detail, two Carabinieri police force officers after far-right Forza Nuova party members put up a banner in Milan on Tuesday near where the woman was speaking for an event, according to local media outlets.
Right-wing opposition parties were absent when motion for the Segre Commission was approved last week.
Segre is one of the 25 under-14 children who survived after being deported to Auschwitz.
