Ginetta Sagan was a survivor one of the Nazi's prison camps, because of her involvement with the Italian resistance. There she suffered unspeakable acts of torture and violence, as well as watched her parents be murdered. Somehow she came our stronger and changed, with an unstoppable will to help others from experiencing inhumane treatment and torture. She has been responsible for the release of political prisoners in Poland, the Czech Republic, Latin America, and South Africa. 6,000 prisoners in Vietnam were also set free because of her relentless efforts. She was known to directly face captors and demand the release of prisoners. Ginetta knew the pain and suffering of the prisoners personally, which is why she worked so hard to free them in as little time possible. She founded the first West Coast chapter of Amnesty International USA and has organized some 75 other chapters around the United States. If more people had the courage Ginetta had, I truely believe the world would be a changed place.
