<p>Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, Milan. The story begins in the winter of 1944, in the Wietzendorf concentration camp in Germany. Among the prisoners there are many Italian soldiers who opposed the barbarity of the Nazi and Fascist regimes. With Christmas approaching, those soldiers, deprived of everything and far from their families, feel the need to create a nativity scene to bring a little comfort and a little humanity to the desperation of that place. Thanks to Second Lieutenant Tullio Battaglia, a young drawing professor, and many soldiers present, the figures of the nativity scene are built made from the wood of the beds and supported with barbed wire as a skeleton. Each soldier provides small parts of his clothes, family memories and, giving up the small daily ration of margarine, lights Tullio Battaglia with candles who, day after day, builds the figurines.</p>
