"The Day of Remembrance is an opportunity to strongly renew the common commitment to combat indifference, which, as Liliana Segre reminds us, was the true accomplice of the crimes of the Shoah. Only through the memory of the atrocities suffered by millions of Jews, of children, women and men without guilt, we can keep alive the awareness of the mistakes of the past and the devastating consequences they produced "declares the President of the Senate, Elisabetta Casellati, who this morning placed a crown at the Shoah Museum in Rome together with the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Roberto Fico, in the presence of Senator for life Liliana Segre, representatives of the Jewish communities and the Embassy of Israel.
"Primo Levi wrote with reference to the Holocaust that 'If understanding is impossible, knowing is necessary, because what has happened can return, consciences can again be seduced and obscured: ours too'. The value and meaning of the day that we celebrate January 27 - the date of the demolition of the gates of Auschwitz - lies in the preservation and transmission, especially to the younger generations, of "memory", which is something so precious and fragile at the same time. widespread, protected, memory first of all as a tribute to all the victims of that criminal plan that was the Shoah: Jews, Roma, Sinti, homosexuals and disabled people, military internees and opponents of the regime struck by the Nazi fury.Memory as a reminder of those people who found the courage not to turn away, working, often at the risk of their own lives, to save the Jews from extermination. Memory as a response to any attempt to deny or underestimate what happened and the responsibilities and complicity. Memory as a duty to deal with our past. Recognizing that even in Italy there were many accomplices in the extermination and that very few had the courage to openly oppose the ignominious racial laws. Memory, again, as a warning for humanity to always keep the attention high against intolerance, indifference and oblivion which, even today, risk fueling new horrors and new atrocities ". Speaker of the Chamber, Roberto Fico.
