VATICAN CITY – Holocaust survivor
and life Senator Liliana Segre, 89, told Vatican News on last month’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day that she is “very concerned”
about the “reemergence of feelings of hate.” Segre said “this wave isn’t anomalous” but is due to the economic crisis and “also the result of very wrong teachings, of nationalism and populism.”
“Young people, learn not to listen to those who yell the loudest,” she said.
Pope Francis also said “remembrance is dutiful” on that day.
He warned against becoming indifferent to the Shoah.
“If we lose the memory, we annihilate the future,” he said.
“May the anniversary of the Holocaust, the unspeakable cruelty that humanity discovered 75 years ago, be a call to stop, to be silent and remember,” he said. “We need this, so as not to become indifferent.”
On Jan. 25, Rome became the latest Italian city to make Segre an honorary citizen.
Segre survived Auschwitz as a girl. She was named senator for life by President Sergio Mattarella on Jan. 19, 2018.
Born into a Milanese Jewish family in
1930, Segre was expelled from her school after the promulgation of the Italian Racial Laws in 1938.
In 1943 she was arrested with many members of her family and deported to Auschwitz.
After 1990 she started to speak to the public, especially young people, about her experience.
Segre was recently given a police escort after anti-Semitic threats against her.
Premier Giuseppe Conte said remembering the Shoah was “an antidote to barbarity.”
“The remembrance of the facts is fundamental so that this never happens again,” he said.
President Sergio Mattarella said the appearance of “Juden Hier”

Comedy ‘Italian Bred’ comes to the Wilmington stage
Italian-American Herald
The hit show “Italian Bred” comes to the stage in Wilmington for two shows March 7.
The comedy, starring Candice Guardino, comes to life at 2 and 8 p.m., at the Baby Grand, 818 N. Market St.
The story is derived from Guardino’s own memories, as she remembers growing up Italian on Staten Island, New York.
Guardino slips in and out of various family characters while telling stories, singing
and sharing the stage with “virtual” cameo appearances by Steve Schirripa from “Blue Bloods,” Mario Cantone from “Sex and the City,” Leslie Jordan from “Will and Grace” and Vic Dibetetto from “Mall Cop 2.”
Before coming to Wilmington, “Italian Bred” garnered enthusiastic reviews and played to sold-out audiences in Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. IAH
