The students of the " Marconi-Lussu " high school and the " Piga " high school of Villacidro gathered together yesterday to commemorate the Day of Remembrance dedicated to the Shoah , to the extermination of the Jewish people, and all the deportees to the Nazi camps. «On 27 January 1945 the Red Army – remarked the Councilor for Culture Silvia Mamusa – liberated the concentration camp of Auschwitz and opened the darkest page of human history during which millions of people were murdered: Jews above all, but also people with disabilities, Roma and Sinti (the Porrajmos), homosexuals, political opponents, Jehovah's Witnesses. It is still an open wound in Western culture. Faced with the sense of infinite cruelty that each of us feels if we turn our thoughts to the holocaust, it is the duty of institutions, schools and all citizens to pause and reflect on these horrors . We work so that girls, boys and girls and boys learn the importance of remembering one of the most tragic periods for humanity".
The mayor Carlo Tomasi , Alessio Arriu President of the Anpi , Giuseppe Marras teacher of the Liceo Classico “E. Piga” of Villacidro, Salvatore Manno President of the University of Monreale. «A heartfelt thanks - concludes Silvia Mamusa - goes to the teachers who accompanied the classes of the IIS Marconi Lussu and the Liceo Classico “E. Piga”, to the students who followed the initiative with interest and in particular to Monica Manganelli, director of the short film "Butterflies in Berlin" which describes the problem of gender identity during the dramatic years of the Nazi dictatorship. The cinematographic transposition of a true story that represents diversity as an element of wealth of every society».
