Description

In Scottsdale, Arizona, lives a unique treasure- Margherita Bertola Fray- one of the last survivors of the Italian Resistance that helped the Allies advance up the Italian peninsula to push the Nazis out of Italy during World War II. Her anti-Fascist family endured losses because of their opposition. Like all Italians, they suffered and were witness to the horrors of bombings, executions, and other brutalities perpetrated by home-grown and foreign aggressors. At 17, she participated in dangerous missions to support the underground fighters, often putting herself in harm’s way for the good of others and for her country. Her life as an American war bride was challenging, but with the strengths from her upbringing and experiences in Italy, she carried on and is content- except for until now her story remained untold.
