From Fiorello’s Sister: Gemma LaGuardia Gluck’s Story
Edited by Rochelle G. Saidel (Syracuse University Press, 2007), 152 pages.

“Gemma describes both the brutal tortures by the Nazis and the courage and mutual support
of the inmates. She taught English to women from over 40 countries. Her description
of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, known as “Bible Students,” is particularly inspiring. At one

be given her freedom. Not one of them accepted the offer.”

Gemma was the sister of New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.

He refused to use any influence he had to get her released.
