Il “Giorno della Memoria,” or Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed globally on January 27. This day is a poignant reminder of the atrocities of the Holocaust. It serves as a time to remember and honor those who suffered persecution under the Racial Laws imposed by the Fascist government in Italy and during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The commemoration by the Consulate of Italy in Detroit and the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan is a respectful tribute to the Italian victims of this dark period in history. Such observances play a crucial role in educating people about the past, preserving the memories of victims, and promoting tolerance and peace to prevent such tragedies from recurring.
