ANALYSE

Des miettes de Mémoire

Dans un récent numéro du magazine " Shabbaton ", Avinoam Hersh, éducateur, décrit ainsi sa récente expérience à l’occasion du 27 janvier. Nous nous trouvons en Israël, dans la " sixième classe " (parallèle à la première année de l’école intermédiaire italienne), à laquelle il a demandé d’avouer en toute honnêteté leur intéresse aux histoires de la Shoah : " Franchement monsieur, ils ne me disent rien. Je suis conscient de ce qui s’est passé mais quel serait mon lien avec la Shoah ? Je suis né dans ce Pays (Israël) et j’ai l’impression que toute cette réalité ressemble au chapitre de Harry Potter ".
La confession placide du garçon est l’épreuve que l’inévitable se produit, pas pour une mauvaise volonté ou négationniste, mais précisément parce que c'était inévitable. Le moment de faire face à cette réalité est arrivé. D’une part il est nécessaire, pour les survivants et pour nous-mêmes, de récupérer des témoignages, d’écouter, et écouter encore, de raconter aux jeunes, tant que c’est possible, des histoires vraiment vécues, et d’autre part, il est également nécessaire de se préparer à ce que l’on appelle, avec la notion de Halakhà, la transition d’un deuil récent au deuil vieux, d’une avelùt chadashà à une avelùt yeshanà.
La mémoire ne sera plus personnelle, et l’aspect familial va disparaitre aussi rapidement. Il ne restera qu’une mémoire collective, partagée. Une telle mémoire collective nécessite sa propre ritualité et de valeurs bien établies. Bien que le repère provienne du 27 janvier, je fais ici référence à la fête du calendrier juif, qui semble désormais définitivement établie dans Yom haShoah.

KULTURELLES ERBE

Das antike Ghetto von Ferrara,
eine Vereinbarung zu seiner Aufwertung

In Ferrara haben die jüdische Gemeinde und die Stadtverwaltung eine Vereinbarung zur Aufwertung des ehemaligen Ghettos unterzeichnet, die der Förderung des historischen, architektonischen und kulturellen Erbes dient. Eine Vereinbarung mit einer Laufzeit von fünf Jahren, auf jeden Fall bis zum Abschluss der geplanten Aktivitäten, die sich aus dem Bewusstsein der „zwei Stärken" entwickeln werden, gelten wird. Diese werden von der Gemeinschaft selbst und dem Nationalmuseum des italienischen Judentums und der Shoah vertreten.
Im Rahmen dieser Vereinbarung, die am 18. Dezember 2022 vom Bürgermeister Alan Fabbri und vom Präsidenten der jüdischen Gemeinde Fortunato Arbib unterzeichnet wurde, wird man sich für die Aufarbeitung und gemeinsame Weitergabe der Geschichte und Identität einiger besonders bedeutender Zeugnisse im Hinblick auf eine umfassende „Stadterneuerung" einsetzen. Sie erstreckt sich von der Synagoge in der Via Mazzini, die seit mehr als sechs Jahrhunderten Drehund Angelpunkt des Gemeinschaftslebens ist, bis zur sephardischen Synagoge in der Via Vittoria, von der ehemaligen jüdischen Schule in der nahe gelegenen Via Vignatagliata bis zum Friedhof in der Via delle Vigne, auf dem unter anderem Bassani begraben ist. Auch zu den öffentlichen Plätzen, auf die man sich konzentrieren wird, gehören die Piazzetta Lampronti, die Piazza Travaglio und die Säule des Borso d'Este. Eine gemischte Gruppe aus Vertretern der Stadtverwaltung und der jüdischen Gemeinde arbeitet an dem Projekt, darunter Alessia Pedrielli, Alessandra Piganti, Cristina Nagliati und Leonardo Punginelli für die Stadtverwaltung und Fortunato Arbib, Andrea Pesaro, Tullio Caselli, Maurizio Anastasi und Laura Graziani Secchieri für die jüdische Gemeinde.

FESTIVAL DE CINE DE BERLIN/DOCUMENTAL 

"Estamos aquí, estamos vivos"
Una historia de coraje y salvación

"Siamo qui, siamo vivi" ("Estamos aquí, estamos vivos"), el documental del director italiano Daniele Ceccarini, ha llegado a Berlín. El cine hizo de protagonista en la capital alemana durante la última edición de la Berlinale, en la que se ha presentado la película dedicada a la historia de Alfredo Sarano, secretario de la Comunidad judía de Milán, que durante el Holocausto ocultó las listas con los nombres de los inscritos ayudando a salvar a muchos judíos de la captura.El documental, presentado en el European Film Market de Berlín, ha sido promovido por el Departamento de Cultura de la región de Las Marcas.
Está inspirado en el libro escrito por el periodista Roberto Mazzoli y cuenta cómo Sarano y su familia encontraron cobijo en el convento de Beato Sante, en Mombaroccio. En este lugar su historia se cruzó con la de Erich Eder, un joven suboficial de la Wehrmacht, cuya ayuda fue fundamental para la salvación de la familia Sarano y los 300 civiles refugiados en las cuevas del santuario. Eder se negó a obedecer las órdenes del Reich y no reveló la presencia de judíos en el refugio. En la presentación berlinesa estuvieron presentes también los familiares de Eder y el vicepresidente de la Unión de las Comunidades Judías Italianas, Milo Hasbani, que llevó los saludos de UCEI y de la Comunidad judía milanesa. "Alfredo Sarano hizo desaparecer una lista de judíos inscritos en la comunidad de Milán con más de 14 mil nombres – recuerda Hasbani (en la imagen, a su izquierda está el nieto de Eder) – y fue secretario de nuestra comunidad bajo la presidencia de Federico Jarach".

REMEMBRANCE/MUSEUM OF THE SHOAH IN ROME

Aktion Reinhardt, an exhibition depicts the horror

Aktion Reinhardt, the Nazi plan that murdered about 1.7 million Jews and an unknown number of Poles, Roma, and Soviet prisoners of war in German-occupied Poland, is the focus of a new exhibition by the Museum of the Shoah Foundation recently inaugurated in Rome. Titled "The Nazi hell. The death camps of Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka", the exposition, curated by historian Marcello Pezzetti, was conceived on the anniversary of the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto and the riots that took place in Sobibor and Treblinka to recount a murderous operation "which has no precedent in any type of civilization".
With this project, as the Museum president Mario Venezia remarked in presenting it, "the Foundation reconstructs and analyzes with dutiful scrupulousness the project of mass extermination in specially built camps. In those camps, exactly eighty years ago, numerous groups of prisoners found the courage and strength to trigger revolts against their torturers. We hope that this historical exhibition will reach significant audiences, because we believe that study and research are indeed the healthiest form of rebellion".
As pointed out Pezzetti, other groups and categories were persecuted beyond Jews. Despite this, emphasis must be placed on "the specificity of the Shoah: the largely successful attempt to physically eliminate part of its population, and then the entire population of occupied Europe, employing in this genocide all the forces of the state". Aimed at "restoring a decent memory to what unfortunately happened, in favor of a general public", the exhibition revolves with scientific rigorousness around different themes.

Milan finally unveils a Shoah memorial
in central railway station

By Julie Carbonara*
 
For the past three decades, Italian Holocaust survivor Liliana Segre has been asking Milan’s notoriously slow administration to erect a memorial at the city’s railway station to mark the place where she and thousands of other Jews were deported to the death camps between 1943 and 1945. This month, the 92-year-old’s wish was finally granted. Mrs Segre, one of Italy's most prominent Shoah survivors was 13 when, on 30 January 1944, she was arrested by Mussolini’s police and forced with 605 other Jews onto livestock carriages at the infamous Binario 21, a platform below the station’s main tracks. Now, there is a multimedia installation at the main station that marks, and tells the story of, their deportation, and a Shoah memorial at Binario 21.
