In his speech for "Remembrance Day", the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, quotes Primo Levi: "The history of deportation and concentration camps cannot be separated from the history of fascist tyranny in Europe: it represents its foundation taken to the extreme, beyond every limit of the moral law that is engraved in the human conscience".
"With these words", explained Mattarella, "Levi sculpted the judgment on the roots and primary responsibilities of the most serious extermination, organized and planned against women and men defined as inferior races, the most serious carried out in the history of humanity".
