The prime minister-designate of Italy publishes a statement according to which the commemoration of the deportation of the Jews of Rome by the Nazis "needs to build antibodies against indifference and hatred and lead to the continuation of the fight against anti-Semitism on every issue."
On the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the deportation of over 1,000 residents of the Jewish ghetto in Rome to Auschwitz, - after the occupation of northern and central Italy by the Germans, Meloni said that the deportation was a "tragic and dark day", "an atrocity that should be used as a warning against the recurrence of certain tragedies.'
"Women, men and children were torn from their lives, house by house," Meloni said, "more than 1000 people were deported and only 15 men and one woman returned. Not even one child. It was an inhuman expulsion of Nazi-fascist madness, a memory of horror for all Italians.'
