Bologne, pour une Mémoire Vivante

Par Pagine Ebraiche staff

Dimanche 28 janvier rendez-vous pour courir à nouveau pour une Mémoire vivante et consciente. Forte du succès de l’année dernière, 2018 commence avec une autre édition de la Run for Mem. Cette initiative non-compétitive organisée par UCEI vise à évoquer la Shoah à travers les lieux clés de la Mémoire des citoyens, pour tracer ensemble un chemin vers l’avenir. Parce que aujourd’hui dans ces lieux on vit à nouveau, et chaque projection et effort fait pour les nouvelles générations ne peut que passer par une connaissance solide du passé, des erreurs et des crimes perpétrés, mais aussi par la réaction à ces derniers qui nous a amené dans le sens opposé. C’est un patrimoine à protéger à tout prix, même par le sport. Par rapport à 2017, le scénario change. Ce n’est plus Rome, mais Bologne, avec deux chemins différents pour les participants: une course pour les experts de douze kilomètres et une course urbaine de cinq. Dans le premier cas le départ est fixé sur la place où se trouve le Mémorial récemment réalisé pas très loin de la gare. Les étapes suivantes seront: Porta Lame, où se trouve un monument à la mémoire de la bataille du 7 novembre 1944 mené par les partisans contre les nazis; la Certosa, où on commémorera les partisans et les victimes de la Shoah; le stade municipal, où on s’arrêtera devant la plaque à la mémoire de Arpad Weisz, entraîneur juif tué à Auschwitz; l’école juive de via Pietralata; le jardin de Porta Saragozza, où a été érigé un monument pour les déportés homosexuels dans les camps de concentration nazis; via Mario Finzi, où se trouve une pierre tombale pour les victimes de la Shoah qui venaient de Bologne; Piazza Maggiore, où on s’arrêtera devant la pierre tombale pour les ex déportés et les ex internés.

Viktor Emanuel III., der Prozess

von Pagine Ebraiche staff

Am 18. Januar findet eine beispiellose gerichtliche Vertiefung in Rom statt, um Schulden und Haftung zu klären.
Im Jahr 2018 wird das 80. Bestehen des Erlasses der Rassengesetze sein, die vom König Viktor Emanuel III. im Landgut San Rossore in Pisa unterschrieben, von Benito Mussolini in Triest proklamiert und innerhalb wenige Wochen vom Parlament angenommen wurden. Aufgrund dieses Jahrestages und mit der Rückkehr von Königs Leiche scheint die Aufnahme einer Reihe von Initiativen zum Verhältnis von Recht und Werten noch wesentlicher. Anlässlich nächstes Internationalen Tages des Gedenkens an die Opfer des Holocaust wird ein außergewöhnliches Ereignis in Form von Gerichtsverfahren die Verantwortlichkeiten derjenigen, die zu Protagonisten einer der schändlichsten Seiten der jüngsten italienischen Geschichte wurden, vernehmen. Am 18. Januar um 20.30 Uhr wird „der Prozess“ auf der Bühne im Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rom mit der Figur von Viktor Emanuel III. beginnen.
Auf der Anklagebank wird Umberto Ambrosoli den König interpretieren und sich verteidigen; die Staatsanwaltschaft wird Marco De Paolis, der Militärstaatsanwalt von Rom, sein; der Präsident der Cdec (Stiftung Jüdisches Zeitgenössisches Dokumentationszentrum) Giorgio Sacerdoti wird die Anwälte der Kläger sein. Dagegen wird das Gericht aus Paola Severino, ehemalige Justizministerin, als Präsidentin des Ausschusses, dem Richter Giuseppe Ayala und dem Rat des CSM (Oberster Rat der Gerichtsbarkeit) Rosario Spina bestehen. Viele verlorene Zeugnisse, an die man sich erinnern wird: in den Worten von Piera Levi Montalcini, dem Leiden ihrer Tante, der Nobelpreisträgerin Rita Levi Montalcini, und dem Betrug für die italienische wissenschaftliche Forschung mit der Flucht exzellenter Köpfe aus dem Land; Federico Carli wird die Geschichte seines Großvaters, Guido Carli, erzählen, der sich weigerte, seine Dissertation aus Respekt vor seinem jüdischen Professor zu veröffentlichen, und auf eine vielversprechende Universitätskarriere verzichten musste; die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen werden vom Rechtsökonom Enrico Giovannini erläutert.

Vittorio Emanuele III’s Body Returned to Italy while Aldo Finzi’s Music Played in New York

By Simone Somekh*

Over the weekend, the remains of Vittorio Emanuele III, the king of Italy who signed Mussolini’s Racial Laws in 1938, were flown back from Egypt to Italy for reburial. The remains, together with those of Queen Elena’s, are now at the Sanctuary of Vicoforte, a small town near Turin, in northern Italy.
While Italy was paying homage to a man who had the power to oppose Fascism, but chose to passively allow the regime to take over his country, Carnegie Hall last night paid homage to a man whose career was brutally interrupted by such bigotry.
Vittorio Emanuele III reigned in Italy for 46 years. He is infamous for silently supporting the Fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini, who came to power in the early 1930s. In 1938, the king signed the “laws for the defense of the race,” a set of laws which targeted the Italian Jews and the African residents in the Italian colonies in Africa. After the war, in 1946, he abdicated and went into exile in Alexandria, Egypt, where he died one year later.

Conflictos

Adolfo Locci

Inter arma silent leges!
Este antiguo dicho en latín expresa el concepto de que en la guerra no hay ley y el individuo tiene la libertad de ceder a sus instintos básicos.
Las reglas de enfrentamiento en situaciones de conflicto, que se exponen en las lecturas de Shofetim y Ki Tetzè, son lo que demuestra en mayor medida lo lejos que se encuentra la ética de la Torah de todo eso. Estos principios nos enseñan que tampoco en los casos mencionados más arriba debemos renegar de nuestra condición de seres humanos, gracias a la cual tenemos toda capacidad de entender que la guerra lleva a la muerte y a la destrucción tanto para los vencedores, como para los vencidos.

*Adolfo Locci es rabino.

Canada, 2018 Holocaust Remembrance Day
to Focus on Italy

By Myron Love*

In commemoration of the annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day this year, a number of Winnipeg Jewish groups have partnered with the Italian community to focus on the plight of the Jews of Italy during the Holocaust.
Numerous organizations will be participating, including Winnipeg’s Freeman Family Foundation Holocaust Education Centre, B’nai Brith Canada, The Dante Alighieri Society, which promotes Italian culture, and La Lupa di Roma Lodge, an Italian sisterhood group. Stan Carbone, the Italian vice-consul for Manitoba, and the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada’s program director are participating in the 2018 program, as well.

Five Place To Go In 2018

By Hilary Danailova*

From political rhetoric to weather, is there anyone who doubts that 2017 was a year of superlatives and extremes? Our teeth were collectively on edge as world leaders rattled their nuclear sabers and hurricanes battered beloved cities — even people stranded on a desert island probably followed the latest tweets out of Washington.

A desert island sounds pretty good right now, preferably one without Twitter access. But novel museums, prominent historical sites and new adventures in beloved destinations offer fresh perspectives on our human planet, Jewish and otherwise.
So here are a few suggestions for your 2018 vacation — and may all our travels be safe and happy.

1. Ferrara, Italy

On my first visit to Ferrara, I struggled to connect with its Jewish culture — a legacy of alternate refuge, adversity and prosperity in a Northern Italian city once famous for power and affluence.

That Jewish connection should become much clearer with the December opening of the National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah, Italy’s first comprehensive institution devoted to the story of its Jews. MEIS, as the museum is known by acronym, is the latest in a string of national European Jewish museums — though we’ll have to wait until the 2020 unveiling of a permanent exhibition, in a renovated prison complex, to assess its full ambition..
