Shoah, Conte: 'It's not enough to remember a deep wound, we need to understand'

The Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, in a message recalls January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day, which celebrated the liberation of the Auschwitz extermination camp, a paradigm of all the extermination camps in Germany and Eastern Europe, built by ordinary, 'normal' men to definitively destroy the Jewish people, to erase every trace of its presence in the world.

Today, more than ever – Conte underlines – it is important to remember the deep wound inflicted on the Jewish community on that tragic page of our history and the dangers that lie behind the phenomenon of racism and anti-Semitism that proliferate in the culture of conspiracy theories, a culture that re-emerges with force in times of crisis”.

For the Prime Minister, "however, to prevent a tragedy like the Holocaust from happening again, it is not enough to remember: we must also understand. An important way to do this is to pay attention to the living voice of witnesses and those who were involved in the events."
