66 years have passed since the awful experience of our ancestors, that memory will be untouched, perhaps centuries to come, called the Shoah with the meaning of desolation, disaster, violence, killings, extermination of Jews.
The day of 27 January 2000 Memorial Day is recognized by Law No 211, July 20, 2000, as "The Italian Republic recognizes the 27th day of January, date of the gates of Auschwitz," Memorial Day "in order to remember the Holocaust (extermination of the Jewish people), the racial laws, the Italian persecution of Jewish citizens, the Italians who suffered deportation, imprisonment, death, and those who, even in different fields and camps, have opposed the project of extermination, and at the risk of their lives they have saved more lives and protected the persecuted. "
On the day of 27 January 1945 came the Red Army, Soviet soldiers who entered Auschwitz and Birkenau survivors and released prisoners who survived the Nazi extermination camp. Liberating troops entered the Auschwitz and Birkenau, discovered and unveiled to the world the most atrocious horrors of human history. In fact the Soviets had already arrived earlier to leave the camps, Chelmno and Belzec, but these fields more commonly known as "annihilation" were veritable factories of death where the prisoners and deportees were gassed immediately, saving only a few "Sonderkommando".
However, the opening of the gates to Auschwitz, where 10-15 days before the Nazis were withdrawn, bringing with them tumbling into a "death march" all prisoners with disabilities, many of whom died during the march itself, showed the world not only many witnesses of the tragedy, but also the instruments of torture and destruction of the camp.
more time passes, the more the terrible memories of the Second World War is fading, along with those who experienced it first-person testimonies in our country.
This should not happen! The youth of our country should take the feelings of their own ancestors who have experienced the horror of war and down in time to lead us not into the same error. It is said that "history repeats itself" but this was extended in times of illiteracy in 70% of the Italian population until 1940. Now, we at this time, thanks to the accounts and documents, we are disheartened words in this sentence and make their own future without forgetting.
memory and honor our heroes of the fatherland!
