Rome, 27 January (LaPresse) – “On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the names and surnames of the victims and renew our memory of what happened, including through the valuable testimony of survivors and their descendants. Today we celebrate the Righteous of every nation, who did not hesitate to risk their lives to oppose the Nazi plan and save innocent lives. On this day, we once again condemn the complicity of the fascist regime in the persecutions, roundups and deportations. A dark page in Italian history, sealed by the ignominy of the racial laws of 1938.” This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Holocaust Remembrance Day. “Unfortunately, many years later, anti-Semitism has not yet been definitively defeated. It is a disease that has returned to spread, in new and virulent forms. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to prevent and combat every manifestation of this scourge, which poisons our societies and aims to destroy the principles of freedom and respect that are the basis of social cohesion,” added the Prime Minister.
