Italy Commemorates Ardeatine Caves Massacre

By Pagine Ebraiche staff

Italian authorities, including president Sergio Mattarella, commemorated the Ardeatine Caves massacre last week.
This episode was one of the worst events perpetrated in Italy during World War II by the German occupiers. The caves are located in a seldom frequented rural suburb of Rome where, on March 25, 1944, the Nazis killed 335 Italian prisoners (among them many political prisoners and members of the local Jewish community).

Former Inter Captain Zanetti Visits Milan’s Shoah Memorial with 400 Young Athletes

By Pagine Ebraiche Staff

Javier Zanetti, former captain and current vice-president of the Inter-Milan soccer team, visited the Shoah Memorial of Milan with 400 players of the Inter soccer school and of the Olimpia Milan basketball school.
The visit was part of the initiative to raise awareness against racism “#TweetOffRacism - Siamo Fratelli Del Mondo” (“We are brothers of the world”).
“This is a place designed for young people like you to get to know history, to understand which ideas are right and which are wrong and that we have to fight against dictatorships and for a free society”, said Roberto Jarach, vice-president of the Foundation for the Memorial.

La Mémoire en 2018

Gadi Luzzatto Voghera*

Deux questions me frappent de façon particulière à propos de ce qu’on a fait pour la Mémoire en 2018. D’un côté il y a la polémique internationale sur l’adoption de la part du Parlement polonais d’une loi qui sanctionne avec une peine jusqu’à trois ans de prison toute personne qui appelle les lagers se trouvant dans l’actuelle Pologne “des camps de concentration polonais”. Moi, je suis d’accord avec Yehida Bauer, qui a expliqué le mieux possible la question (à lire ici).
La deuxième question concerne les actes de vandalisme contre les Stolpersteine (litt. pierres d’achoppement). Trois pierres ont déjà été abîmées à Milan et à Rome. Ces épisodes me semblent, paradoxalement, le signal d’un énorme succès.

Rules to Survive Pesach

By Susanna Calimani*

1. Empty the pockets of jackets and bags you want to use during Pesach, or you will find them full of... "dust".

2. Make sure to buy at least one bottle of KLP (Kosher for Passover) Coke, two bags of KLP chips, Samson Kosher cheese spread, a jar of pickles, one of gefilte fish, and mint candies, although during the year you never buy them.

3. Some people say that eggs do not affect the level of cholesterol, nevertheless ask your rabbi if the pills against it are KLP.

A Seder Feast in Provence,
With Roots in Ancient Rome

By Joan Nathan*

Since Roman times, Jews have lived in this town in northern Provence, which lies on an ancient trade route from Marseille to Bruges, Belgium. This year, about 50 people will hold a communal Passover Seder at the Carpentras Synagogue, built in 1367 and one of the oldest active synagogues in Europe.
Today’s congregation has about 100 members, many with roots in North Africa; their Seder traditions include salmon tagine and a feast of vegetable salads. But Gilberte Levy, who can trace her family tree here back to the 1600s, will also cook some of the kosher recipes that Provençal Jews have been making for centuries.
Haroseth, the fruit paste that evokes the bricks and mortar used by Jewish slaves in the Passover narrative of the Old Testament, is part of every Seder ritual. Her 13th-century recipe includes dried apricots, figs, raisins and chestnuts, reflecting the sunny climate of this Mediterranean region. And a traditional whole veal breast stuffed with Swiss chard will be the centerpiece of her table.
