January 27: Memorial Day

; ; ;
The term Shoah, which means "desolation, disaster, disaster," we refer to the genocide committed by the Nazi regime, in particular to the systematic killing of Jews around 6milioni.
toward Jews, the Nazis immediately obvious from a particular fury, are identified as evil, a demonic presence and gravely negative for the German nation.
Although Jews were the main victims of the Holocaust, hundreds of thousands of Gypsies, the handicapped, prisoners of war, Russians, Poles, communists, socialists, homosexuals and children were killed. With the death of President Hindenburg , Hitler came to power by taking the dual position of President and Chancellor, establishing a totalitarian regime on behalf of
"Mein Kampf", which translated means " My fight for the recognition of the Aryan race ", in which he put the key features of his ideology the superiority of the Aryan race which would be credited exclusive of human progress, the theory of living space, according to which the Germans would have to unite in one great Germanic homeland, the presence of a leader Fuhrer, or "leader", which was to be above any law or court and finally the theory of anti-Semitism.
The situation degenerated into 1935 with Nuremberg Laws that deprived Jews of all rights and freedoms. They were also obliged to produce on the arm Star of David, were banned by the German nation, and ties were banned marriages between Jews and Germans in the name of "protection of German blood and honor."
The atrocities Nazi reached its peak in 1942 . The Germans realized that even if deported to Eastern Europe, Jews were a hindrance in accordance with the aforementioned theory of living space, that Germany had to win in the East, then you came to so-called "final solution", ie the physical elimination of the Jews.
The Nazis moved so the inhabitants of the ghettos to death camps.
I lager, or concentration camps, became home to the worst genocide in human history.
The victims arrived in the camps in cattle cars after exhausting trip, the arrival of the SS (
Schutzstaffel) separating men from women by forcing them to undress and hand over all that was in their possession. They were then driven into the gas chambers, looking for rooms for the shower while a minority were selected for forced labor.
extermination camps were tried
atrocious tortures, the men were used as guinea pigs to test new drugs, poisons and weapons, to study the resistance to pain with carbon monoxide or intracardiac injections of phenol.
The extermination was aimed, in addition to physical destruction, but the destruction through moral living conditions unbearable, exhausting work and humiliation inhumane.
The atrocities committed in concentration camps came to us thanks to the testimonies of survivors like Primo Levi , to whom we report the poem "If This Is a Man," which have helped to shed light on the darkest period of human history.
Despite the truth of these tragic events is known, has grown over time the so-called revisionism , a minority of people, often close to far-right movements, denies the Holocaust. This attitude is judged
very dangerous because it negates the evidence with the arrogant presumption of correct and falsify history, as the Holocaust must be remembered, studied and understood thoroughly in order not happen again such an event ... Although, as known, similar events are repeated in various parts of the world today.
Primo Levi - If This Is a Man, poetry

You who live safe In your warm houses, You who find

returning in the evening, Hot food and friendly faces
Consider if this is a man who works in the mud


that knows no peace Who fights for a bread
dying for a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman with no hair and no name


no more strength to remember, Her eyes empty and her womb cold
like a frog in winter.
forget that this was:
Remember these words. Carve them in your heart

When at home because,
lying down, getting up.
Repeat them to your children. Or have you undone
Home,
the illness impede you, your
born twist their faces from you.
