Despite the rain and the Covid-19 virus, a small delegation from the organisations involved in the discovery of the concentration camp gathered there in the past hours in Montorio – a village near Verona – before the site\u2019s commemorative plaque. Used for this purpose in early 1944 \u2013 then a place of detention of political prisoners until the end of World War II \u2013 it saw the presence of about sixty Jews, who were subsequently transferred to Fossoli and then to Auschwitz.
\nThe precise identification and its identification as a \u201cconcentration camp\u201d has been made thanks to some letters found, together with the administrative acts of the time and the testimonies in which the survivors had detailed their experience, the commemorative plaque and some explanatory signs with photos placed in a point particularly important for the citizens use, next to a pedestrian path and the cycle path. Only in 2017 a commemorative plaque and some explanatory signs with photos were placed in a particularly important point for use by citizens, being next to a pedestrian and cycle path.<\/p>\n

So representatives of the Jewish community of Verona and Vicenza, of the Sons of the Shoah association and of the local Institute for the History of Resistance and contemporary age, as well as of the Montorio Veronese association, wanted to remember the almost miraculous re-discovery of this former military building, which was intended to be sold at a public auction as a state property; yet, by a decision of 23 March 2020, the Archaeological Superintendence for the provinces of Verona, Rovigo and Vicenza has initiated the procedure to declare the place as of \u201ccultural interest\u201d, effectively \u201cfreezing\u201d the sales procedures.
\nIf the international Holocaust Remembrance Day should not last for just one day but for every day of the year\u2013 because we Jews do not need a dedicated day, we remember every day \u2013 in Verona the synergy between the Jewish community, civil society and local associations has achieved this goal, leading to the safeguarding of a place of living memory.
\nAs stated by Senator Liliana Segre at the Shoah Memorial in Milan, \u201cindifference is already violence\u201d. Yesterday there was a statement of participation and involvement. A special thanks goes to Liliana, an underwriter of the parliamentary question which then led to the fulfilment of this small miracle (and the story continues\u2026) <\/p>\n
