The short and innocent lives of Guido Norzi and Anna Luciana Norzi are remembered and told by the stumbling stones located in the center of Sanremo, more precisely in via Garibaldi. Guido Norzi was born on September 5, 1886, in Vercelli, son of Moise Norzi and Evelina Momigliano. He was married to Amalia Segre, a math and physics teacher. They had a daughter, Anna Luciana.

Their lives went on undisturbed until November 26, 1943. When the soldiers went after Guido, he courageously hid his daughter Anna in a closet. No one seemed to notice until the housekeeper found the little girl still scared and confused about what had happened. Despite the keeper’s attempts to entrust Anna to several families, none of them took her in, thus forcing her to bring the 11 year old to the same police station where her father Guido was being detained.

Both father and daughter were taken initially to a detention center in Genoa, and later to a collection station in Milan, from which they left on December 6, 1943, aboard the infamous convoy n°5 on which they were deported to their final destination in Auschwitz.

Guido Norzi died on January 31, 1944, a few weeks later after his arrival, while his daughter Anna was murdered as soon as she set foot at the camp on December 11, 1943.
