Miracle in Sicily: A World War II Story

By David Andre

From the author of Alexander's Story: Marriage and War in the Soviet Union - a true World War II story of courage, survival, and a miraculous act of mercy in Sicily.

An order was given. Death was certain. But fate had other plans.

In the waning years of World War II, a group of Italian soldiers-including a young man named Rosario-is captured by Nazi forces in Sicily. Without trial or explanation, they are ordered into a pit. The implication is clear. But just as the execution seems inevitable, something extraordinary happens: the German commander changes his mind-and spares their lives.

No one ever explained why.

Based on a true story passed down through generations, Miracle in Sicily is a moving account of survival, fate, and the small moments of humanity that flicker even in the darkest times. After the war, Rosario rebuilt his life in a changed Italy, while one of his sons later immigrated to the U.S.-carrying the legacy of that miraculous day with him.

A brief yet unforgettable World War II story that honors resilience, faith, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
