After the burial, all traces of the body of the partisan commissioner of Justice and Freedom Emanuele Artom were lost.
The young Emanuele, in love with democratic culture and Jewish tradition, seen through the eyes of those who knew him, through his political and spiritual journey in the Giustizia e Libertà partisan formations.
Artom offers us a clear example of the clandestine experience, from the perspective of a scholar and researcher, through a rereading of his diary, a true historical testament of a man who was already thinking about our future and the structuring of a supportive society that would leave behind twenty years of fascist dictatorship.
Emanuele Artom was a young antiFascist raised in Turin who joined the Resistance in the “Giustizia e Libertà” brigades. He was deeply concerned with democratic culture and the Jewish tradition. In 1944 he was captured by the Italian SS and
savagely murdered.
After a hasty burial, his body was never found. For years historians have tried to understand why.
This documentary attempts to reconstruct Artom's intellectual and political journey within the ranks of clandestine resistance, through the voice of those who met him and through his diary.
The narrating voice is Artom's own journal, in which the ideas of the Italian anti-fascist opposition become a testament for a future society.
