èStoria, Exploring Current Affairs
and History in Gorizia

By Pagine Ebraiche staff

The thirteenth edition of the festival èStoria, closed on May 28, has brought Gorizia's culture festival far beyond the borders of the region, to enter the Italian cultural calendar.
The city is located in the Isonzo region, once a controversial strategic place of elegance between Mittel-Europe and Italy, and the forger of some of the best Jewish intellectuals of old Europe, but later wounded by the border, the Iron Curtain. Currently an area of experimental cross-border growth and collaboration between East and West, Gorizia has confirmed to be the right meeting point for all those who see the knowledge of History as a fundamental resource.

Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni signed the Charter of Responsibilities, a document highlighting fundamental universal values conceived by Gabriele Nissim, president of the nonprofit organization Gariwo (Gardens of the Righteous Worldwide).

Italy will continue to foster relationships of collaboration, friendship and cooperation with the great protagonists of the international scene,” said Gentiloni.

BECHOL LASHON - Deutsch 100 Millionen für verborgene Schätze von Sabine Brandes* Die Hufe donnern durch den Sand. In voller Montur rasen die Römer in ihren Streitwagen um die Wette, ihre Pferde vorneweg. Einmal im Jahr wird in Caesarea beim Römer-Festival die historische Glanzzeit wiederhergestellt. Doch die Ausgrabungen an der nördlichen Küste Israels sind zu jeder Zeit eine Reise wert.

IT HAPPENED TOMORROW Jerusalem By Guido Vitale "Three old men who are better known for being young men stood on Wednesday morning where they had 50 years earlier: in Jerusalem's Old City at the limestone retaining wall that is one of the holiest places for Jews. In a moment frozen in a famous photo, the three men, who were among the paratroopers who had pushed through Jerusalem until they stood at the Western Wall itself in 1967, looked up in awe at a holy site that had been barred to Jews for almost two decades. "We will never give back Jerusalem," one of the three, Zion Karasenti, now 74, said as the anniversary arrived on Wednesday, at 10: 08 a.m. "If they have to capture it again, we will be in the front line."
