Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day and day of the final lifting of the siege of Leningrad. Of course, me living a few years in St. Petersburg and knowledgeable witnesses of those terrible days, closer to the second date. In Europe you can often hear from anyone who knows of a blockade that had nothing to keep the resistance, we had to give up and voila! no hunger, no casualties. How would shifting the blame for the casualties on the attackers to defenders ... Absurdity of some!
very first date does not go unnoticed in Italian schools. Parents ask consent to view their own minor children of documentary films about the horrors of Auschwitz. Read testimonies of sufferers ... My youngest yesterday gave the job to write the poetic text (read - verse) about the Holocaust. After all, what she had heard and seen enough, here's what happened:
NOT FORGET TO REMEMBER, DO NOT FORGET TO ...
Remember not to forget the dreams of the people killed.
And maybe that girl with the doll,
Where has imprisoned all his memories,
now burned in the past.
Remember not to forget
That girl or boy without a name,
but only with a number printed on the arm,
filled with tears of sorrow, because
already pulled all of their few rights.
Remember not to forget the humble
run by a woman cries,
No longer a woman because she removed her modesty,
Forced from around the world to work more like a not
woman but as a man
Do not forget to do not happen again in this world
Why enjoy the extermination
is something inert and mostly unheard of.
