with such a drive you couldn’t even imagine.

Toni starts antifascist activities
-
Fascist propaganda was telling us the communists in Spain
-
had raped and stabbed to death some nuns, so I really didn’t like communism much.

Then what happened?
-
It was 1943, the war was starting,
-
people were talking about our retreats in Russia and in Northern Africa, the bombings, etc.
-
In spring 1943, strikes began at the Reggiane plant.

Not in my department or in the tooling department, where some of my friends were arrested.
-
From then on I started some soul-searching: what was I really doing?
-
I was working day and night to boost production for the war,
-
while war killed people.
-
I was shocked.
-
From that moment on I tried
-
to get in contact with the antifascists, but it was impossible.
-
It was already the summer of ’43 when I went to Sassuolo to visit a friend.
-
I knew him as an antifascist, hoping he could help me to become part of the movement.
-
He told me he couldn’t, since he was indeed an antifascist but he wasn’t organized.
-
There was another comrade in my department
-
who I was friend with, his name was Armando Grassi from Gattaglio.
