Jewish community Rome: "Anpi out of the commemorations of October 16th"

October 16 is the most painful day in the history of Roman Jews. October 16 cannot become the place of new lacerations. This is why we ask Anpi not to participate in our commemorations. Those who contested the presence of the flags of Israel and the Jewish Brigade in the demonstrations of April 25th, those who were unable to unambiguously defend the right of the Jews and all Italians to remember the contribution of the Jewish Brigade to the Liberation, those who showed themselves complacent in the streets towards Pro-Pal violence, cannot expect to show up with us on the 16th as if all this meant nothing. With these words, the president of the Jewish community of Rome Victor Fadlun asked the ANPI not to take part in the commemorations organized to remember the roundup of the Rome Ghetto. "Reflect on your responsibilities: have the sensitivity, if not the modesty, to take a step back", he added.
