Friends, family members, former colleagues and the representatives of the Jewish community of Cuneo today (March 17) gave their last farewell, in the mortuary of the Cuneo hospital, to Beppe Sajeva, the journalist and photographer who died on Wednesday a few days after his 95 Birthday. Of Jewish origin from Turin, he joined the Resistance at a very young age and therefore fought the wars for Israel in 1948 and 1967. In 2009 he published his memoirs of him in the book “Notes of partisan life of a Jewish boy”
Sajeva spent most of his life in Boves, where he had come to live with his wife Nina. Reaching retirement, passionate about news, photography and video, he began to collaborate with La Stampa of Cuneo as a publicist, after having been a diffusion inspector for the newspaper for many years. After being widowed, he lived withdrawn, but he maintained until the end the fighting spirit, formed during the years of the partisan struggle, and the irony with which he always faced his personal and professional experiences.
