Milan Cinema Cancels Holocaust Film Screening Amid Protest Fears

A cinema in Milan has refused to show a documentary about Holocaust survivor Liliana Segre, citing concerns over potential protests.

The cinema's decision has sparked widespread outrage across Italy, drawing significant media attention.
The film, titled 'Liliana,' was scheduled to be shown at the end of the month but was withdrawn by the cinema operator.
The operator expressed concerns about the tense political climate and the risk of damage from weekly protests related to the Middle East conflict.
Liliana Segre, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor and Italian senator for life, has been a target of antisemitic abuse.
The situation for Segre has worsened since the October 2023 conflict in Gaza, with increasing hate messages and vandalism.
