CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis received Italian Sen. Liliana Segre, a Holocaust survivor, in a February 3 audience.

Segre was attending the Vatican’s International Summit on Children’s Rights, at which Pope Francis spoke. Referring to the children to whom she speaks today, Segre said, “I ask them not to look the other way, to make a choice, to understand what it means to accept without reacting, that someone is chased away, deported and killed just for the guilt of being born.”
