Adina Sella on Surviving Psychological Trauma | Mental Health Awareness Month | USC Shoah Foundation

“Hitler does not win when you get yourself back to the authentic self”

Adina Sella was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1935. Adina was able to flee Nazi-occupied Germany to Italy with her mother and brother, where they posed as Catholics. When the Nazis invaded Italy, Adina and her family were rescued by an Italian resistance group, who hid them until British armed forces liberated Italy in 1944.

In her testimony, Adina discusses overcoming post-traumatic stress syndrome, and shares why she does not actively identify as a “survivor.”

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
