" The cowardly and inhuman deportation of Roman Jews at the hands of the Nazi-Fascist fury: women, men and children were snatched from life, house by house ".
So Giorgia Meloni recalls the roundup of the Ghetto of Rome , which took place 79 years ago. "A horror - he adds in a note - that must be a warning so that certain tragedies do not happen anymore. A memory that we know belongs to all Italians, a memory that serves to build antibodies against indifference and hatred. A memory to continue to fight anti-Semitism in all its forms ".
"October 16, 1943 is a tragic, dark and incurable day for Rome and Italy", is the text of Meloni's note. "That morning, a few minutes after 5, the vile and inhuman deportation of Roman Jews at the hands of the Nazi-Fascist fury: women, men and children were snatched from life, house by house. More than a thousand people were deported and of them only fifteen men and a woman returned . None of the children. A horror that must be a warning so that certain tragedies never happen again. A memory that we know belongs to all Italians, a memory that serves to build antibodies against indifference and hatred. . A memory to continue to fight anti-Semitism in all its forms ".
Shortly after, to echo her, comes the declaration of the newly elected president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa : "The roundup of the ghetto of Rome represents one of the darkest pages of our history. It is the task of everyone, starting with the highest institutions, to pass on its I remember so that such tragedies will never happen again in the future. To the Jewish community, today as always, my sincere closeness ".
