A hand was guiding me

A short documentary. Silvio Borghi, a cheesemaker from Mirandola (Modena), met the Talvi Jewish family in 1943, who were living there under internment. After September 8th, the family turned to him for help in hiding, but the situation was precarious. With the help of Don Dante Sala and the Riva family from Cernobbio, Silvio built a route to safety towards Switzerland, which would later save over 100 people.
