"Without memory, humanity is condemned to repeat the errors and horrors of history. But memory not accompanied by the daily commitment against all forms of anti-Semitism and intolerance risks being a fragile monument. The episodes, large and small, of violence and racism are disasters to be prevented and to be fought. The same words of hatred are weeds for democracy. We have the antidote to totalitarianisms, old and new: the values of our Constitution and of the European Union, vigorous responses of peace and civilizations built after the abomination.
