"My father always said, recounting his experience in Vienna in 1938, that 'seeing the tragic fate of the Jews it is natural to feel deep compassion and, from the point of view of humanity, to feel obliged to help them.' This message in my opinion acquires meaning only if my father's story is considered an example for the present, an example that pushes people to help others ".

These are the words of Ho Manli, daughter of Ho Feng Shan, in the interview on the occasion of the ceremony for the Day of the Righteous of the Humanity 2018, when we honoured in the Garden of Milan the Chinese consul who in Vienna provided false passports to persecuted Jews.
