Trieste, ebrei e dintorni - Text fragments

In the gloom and silence of the theatre, we hear the voice of the witness (in the dialect of Trieste):

 "I remember, when the war ended in 1918, the Jewish institutions of Trieste were born almost immediately. The Jewish Association of Young Fascists was founded and I can't remember if the Zionist group was born then...well, anyway, a number of groups and associations. Right after the end of the war, we started spending time together, all these young people, and a real feeling was born which had never been there before".
