Between 1945 and 1970, millions of Italians emigrated around the world, many of them to Switzerland. Helvetic law did not allow family reunification. About 30,000 children are thought to have entered Switzerland illegally. All these children spent their childhood hidden away at home. Their parents used to repeat the same things to them every day before going to work. Don't make noise, don't speak or the police will take you away and then you will be alone. Those children, even today, do not forget.
