That of Giorgio Perlasca is the extraordinary story of a man who, almost alone, in the winter of 1944-1945 in Budapest succeeded in saving thousands of Hungarian Nazi extermination of the Jewish religion by inventing a role, that of the Spanish Consul, he does not was neither diplomatic nor Spanish.

He returned to Italy after the war did not tell his story to anyone, even family, simply because he believed he had done his duty, nothing more and nothing less.

Had it not been for some Hungarian Jewish women saved by him in that terrible winter of Budapest her story would have gone missing. These women, at the end of the '80s put in the newspaper of the Jewish Community of Budapest a notice looking for a Spanish diplomat, Jorge Perlasca, who had saved their fellow Jews and others during those terrible months of Nazi persecution in Budapest and at the end of research found themselves an Italian named Giorgio Perlasca.

Fate decided that the story of Giorgio Perlasca was known, and now his name is in Jerusalem, among the Righteous Among the Nations, and a tree is planted in his memory on the hills surrounding the Museum of Yad Vashem.

The story of Giorgio Perlasca demonstrates that for each individual is always possible to make alternative choices even in the worst situations, where the murder and genocide law was part of a political project.

When asked why they had done, he replied simply: ". . . but she, having the opportunity to do something, what would he saw men, women and children killed for no reason, if not hatred and violence?
