Dan Vittorio Segre, 1922 – 2014
By Sebastian O'Kelly The death of Dan Vittorio Segre on September 27 2014 sees the loss not only of the author of the international bestseller Memoirs of a Fortunate Jew, but one of the last survivors of the Jewish Palestine Brigade which fought with the British army in the Second World War. Segre, who died aged 92 at his home in Turin, was a wonderfully eclectic Jewish Italian, or Italian Jew, who happily combined the careers of author, journalist, Israeli diplomat, academic and campaigner for peace in the Middle East. He also practised yoga with David Ben-Gurion. https://www.amedeoguillet.com/dan-vittorio-segre-1922-2014/
