Remembrance Day: lest we forget ...

Memorial Day is a celebration established by the Italian Parliament with Law 211 of July 20, 2000. Italy has thus joined the international proposal to declare January 27 as a day commemorating the victims of National Socialism and Fascism, the Holocaust and to honor those who risked their lives have protected the persecuted.




The text of Article 1 of the Act defines the purpose of Memorial Day:


"The Italian Republic recognizes the 27th day of January, when the gates of Auschwitz," Memorial Day "in order to remember the Shoah (extermination of the Jewish people), the racial laws, the persecution of Italian Jewish citizens, the Italians who suffered deportation, imprisonment, death, and those who, in different fields and camps, have opposed the project of extermination, and the risk of their lives they have saved more lives and protected the persecuted. »


Never before in these times of economic and social difficulties is essential to remember what man can do against his fellow man. Never before in these moments need to invite everyone to social cohesion, to a man's universal vision. It is necessary that all, repeat all of us face adversity without sterile popolusmi the many who daily live. The Foklore is definitely a tool to support this philosophy, vision. The groups around the world with their actions allow you to immortalize the memory and at the same time are a teaching tool for future generations so that phenomena such as the Holocaust, Holocaust denial, racism be defeated not by a legal ban but by a cultural approach that condemns any form or ideology, doing so will avoid a possible recurrence in the times we live in today ...

Dear friends of foklore please do not forget ...
not to be missed this evening at 21.10 on La7d
