  "account": "Dalia Gubbay, Vice President of Milan's Jewish Community, speaks candidly about the challenges of living as a Jew amidst increasing antisemitism. Despite her strong leadership role, she reveals a personal fear for her children's safety due to the perceived lack of security. Public displays of Jewish identity, such as wearing a Star of David, make her feel constantly under threat. She recounts an incident where her son faced antisemitism during a summer camp in Bulgaria, a situation that deeply affected her. The community of around 7,000 Jews in Milan faces daily challenges, including contentious messages in schools and protests. Even on a day meant for remembrance of Italy's liberation, a group of protesters shouted at them, forcing them to leave. Despite these troubles, Gubbay emphasizes that Milan's Jews will not abandon their traditions or retreat into isolation. She vows to continue celebrating their identity and supporting Israel, vowing to maintain their presence in synagogues and community gatherings. Despite the fear, she insists that the Milanese Jewish community remains steadfast, not willing to give up their fight for identity and safety.",
