#WorldCup (Jewish) News: Super Mario, Mario Balotelli, is the goal-scoring star of the Italian soccer team. He stands out from his teammates, not only for his talent, but because he’s 63, black and Jewish. He was born into a family of Ghanaian immigrants in Palermo, but adopted and raised by the Balotellis, a local Jewish family who also have relatives in Israel. Silvia Balotelli, his foster mother, is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. A couple of years ago, when Mario Balotelli visited Auschwitz with the Italian team, he was overcome with emotion and shared stories about the box of letters from the 1940s that his foster mother kept underneath her bed for years. mariobalotelli.it/en/mario-story/
