\"italics\"<\/a>By Benjamin Glatt*<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 70 years after Romans stepped aside and let the Nazis deport the city\u2019s Jews, Rome once again made the declaration that the only way to defeat the antisemitism of the present is by remembering the antisemitism of the past. <\/p>\n

On October 16, 1943, more than 1,000 Jewish residents of Rome were torn from their homes, marching from the Jewish ghetto to the Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, where they eventually were deported to Auschwitz. They arrived to the death camps on October 22, and only 16 people returned to their homes. The remembrance march, held this week on the roundup\u2019s 74th anniversary, went in the opposite direction, from the church to the ghetto, as a symbol of repentance. <\/p>\n

It was a \u201cgreat movement of sensibility and culture, a real revolt against the evil and absurdity of racism and antisemitism that today we see dangerously re-emerging,\u201d Monsignor Marco Gnavi, pastor of Santa Maria in Trastevere, said at the march. \u201cTo be here means you are showing you love the Jewish community, our brothers.\u201d <\/p>\n

Every year, the Community of Sant\u2019Egidio and the Jewish community of Rome recall together that tragic day, with a march from Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere to Largo. The organizers call it a \u201cpilgrimage of memory,\u201d because all, especially younger generations, tend to forget the tragedy of deportation during the Nazi occupation, according to the organization\u2019s website. <\/p>\n

This year, thousands of Romans, other Italians and foreigners, along with civilian and military authorities, marched through the streets with the procession being opened by children with their message printed on a banner: \u201cPeace is the future.\u201d At the back of the silent procession, participants held up the names of concentration camps.<\/p>\n

Ambrose Spreafico, bishop of Frosinone-Veroli-Ferentino and president of the Episcopal Commission for Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue, told Radio Vatican that believers must look to their Bibles more often, especially in today\u2019s world, where antisemitism and hate seem to abound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bible oddly says a few times \u2018remember\u2019 but \u2018do not forget\u2019 because we are in a society that forgets,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cForget the pain. We see this happening every day. Forget this tragedy, forget Lampedusa [the western island hosting camps for African migrants and refugees], forget the evil. Pope Francis often reminds us \u2013 and then we go back to be complicit of [forgetting again].\u201d At the event, he said that the march is the answer to antisemitism and every form of racism.<\/p>\n

Riccardo Di Segni, chief rabbi of Rome, Ruth Dureghello, president of the Jewish community of Rome and Virginia Raggi, Rome\u2019s mayor, also attended. <\/p>\n

The march took on a special significance this year, as Italy has been embroiled in a debate on whether to give citizenship to the children of illegal migrants who were born in Italy. Last month, Pope Francis made his views clear when he faced St. Peter\u2019s Square and made a hug gesture. \u201cJust like that. Arms wide open, ready for a sincere, affectionate, enveloping embrace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
