This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Remembrance Day.
"With the Shoah, humanity reached its abyss. A historical event whose uniqueness - in terms of assumptions, scientific planning and methods of execution - must be clearly reiterated", adds Meloni.

Pope: 'the logic of hatred and violence denies humanity'
"May the memory and condemnation of the horrible extermination of millions of Jewish people and people of other faiths, which occurred in the last century, help everyone not to forget that the logic of hatred and violence can never be justified, because it denies our very humanity. #WeRemember".

La Russa: 'Shoah, absolute evil, let it never happen again'
"On the occasion of Remembrance Day I would like to renew the feeling of sincere closeness to the Jewish people and bow to the memory of those who are no longer here. The Shoah is without a shadow of a doubt absolute evil, an immense tragedy, the symbol of bestial hatred which must never happen again. A shared memory that forcefully repudiates every form of hatred, racism, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is necessary, indeed indispensable. Remembrance Day and the crimes of the Shoah must enter into everyday life, in schools, in hearts of young people, so that every day of the year is Remembrance Day".
Thus the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa.
Salvini: 'With Israel without ifs or buts'
"This Day of Remembrance is not like all the others: the horror of the Holocaust found a new echo in the monstrous crimes of October 7 against defenseless Jewish citizens carried out by the Islamic cutthroats of Hamas. Rapes, beheadings, massacres in unspeakable detail", he writes Matteo Salvini on social media.
For the leader of the League, the accusations of "genocide" are "grotesque and unspeakable", even more so on a day like this. On the side of the Jewish people, against Islamist terrorism, against those who fuel the conflict, for the final objective of coexistence peace between two peoples in two states, without anyone being able to advance the hateful intention of erasing Israel from the map".
