    On October 19, 2009 Doris Schecter, an Austrian Jew who escaped Nazi persecution, met Mario Palmerio, the mayor of Guardiagrele, the small town in the Abruzzo region where she and her family found refuge from 1939 to 1943. During the ceremony, held at her restaurant “My favorite food” in Midtown Manhattan, she told us about her years in Italy and how they really became the basis of who she is today
