“The record is not passive” and the memory of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust “must orient us to the schools we do today,” he told European Parliament President Roberta Metsol on the third day (January 27) at the International Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, 81 years after the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Metsola remembers the “black moment” from Europe when “six million Jews were dead”, along with members of the outs minor and political opponents, thanks to the organized “máquina de ódio”. “Don’t be afraid of the noise, go step by step, she to her. Silence made it possible to express evil” he stated.
Metsola said that “in Europe the Holocaust appeared bearing the brunt of what it had to face”, but it was forgotten that or “anti-Semitism never died, but sobreviveu-se, adaptou-se e ainda hoje lança a su shadow nosso kontinent e para alem”, espahando-se “faster than ever, intensified among the social reds”.
The president of the European Parliament was attacked on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia during Hanukkah celebrations, with two gunmen killing at least 15 people. “If nothing ever means anything more, I’m afraid to orient the schools we do today.” stated Metsola.
A witness accompanied the ceremony in the courtroom in Strasbourg Tatiana Bucci, who has only been there for six years when, together with her mother Andra, her mother, father, daughter and her first son went to Auschwitz two years ago.
“My story begins in 1910. When my mother, who was born only two years ago, thought she would flee Ukraine with her family because pogrom“, said Tatiana, who said that during the two years she had many stories about her history in schools and other institutions, but that she was excited to get to the European Parliament.
“When the war broke out in Ukraine, for the first time in my life I feel like a Ukrainian. Because he always said that my mother was born in Ukraine, but the story continued. war.”I confirm.
The family lived in Fiume, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in northern Italy, now Croatia. In Primeira Guerra Mundial rebentou eo avô never mais voltau.
Mira returned home to Tatiana’s mother with her father Giovanni, who was Catholic. “It was a mixed house. We started in 1935, when Ainda could be a housewife. In 1938, with new parents, it was not even possible,” says Tatiana, who was born in 1937.
When he was a rebentou, or a man who was a merchant seaman, a prisoner of war in South Africa during the Second World War.
“We continued our life in the river since March 1944,” Tatiana said. “We’re here when we remember you. I’ll come and get us”he went on to explain that he had noted the entry into the room and that he had to meet Joelhada in front of the person who asked the “head of the expedition” to ask him to cry.
Together with Tatiana and Andra, they live in the house of their first Sérgio (also the offspring of a mixed house), who, like their mother, lived like them last year (they were from Naples).
The whole family was in Risiera di San Sabba, a transit concentration camp in northern Italy. “A few days ago we left Trieste Central Station and we had a strange combo there, a cool combo. There are not so many people in each carriage. You can’t describe it. But I don’t remember the middle or the middle,” he said.
Either the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp was fate. “When we check, we’re done with the first selection. Once we leave and now we have to take them off, we’ll put them in the shirt. We’ll just have to wait a long time before we get straight to the gas chamber.”
Since children used to suffer the same fate, it seems that Joseph Mengele will remember that in his early years we were gems – the Nazi doctor had experience with gems. Sérgio também foi com elas. “Mengele was very sensitive to beauty and had good hair,” Tatiana said, noting the former’s hair and dark skin.
Tatiana recounted the experience of going through a “sauna” where the men were despidas and tiheman, their hair all groomed, before a soul washed in the evening and finally getting a number tattooed on the arm. “We were tattooed like animals. Because that’s what the Nazis wanted. We wanted to lose all sense of dignity.”
The children were alone together. “I got used to that life very quickly,” Tatiana said, realizing that it was such a new thing to know that this was the life the Jews had been waiting for. “We burned next to esqueletos, we were not bodies. It is extremely difficult to imagine how crianças brincar setas neighborhood,” he laments.
One day a look told me that I don’t want to know another day if I want to be like the others. And we deviate from that. “When we arrived or Sérgio could not resist. Because he was alone. And he knew. With 19 outras crianças. Dez rapazes ez raparigas”, record.
Born on November 29, 1944, Sérgio was taken to another concentration camp near Hamburg where he was subjected to experiments and died of it on April 20, 1945.
“Alemão follows this story. And it was at this moment that I saw Alemão and alémes mudado. How I distinguished between Nazis and alémes. This difference helps me to live“, Tatiana said, explaining that the alemdes will process “a certain amount of information in the past” and advocated what the Italians should do as well.
“Because we are not completely innocent, we are connected to the Alemão army. And also because we are afraid that we will have a certain number like our past. Without the help of the fascists, we would not have so many deportations,” he defends himself.
Last but not least, Sérgio from Auschwitz-Birkenau, Tatiana and Andro’s mother were also taken from Alemanha to work in the munitions factory. “We thought she was dead, just like the piles of bodies,” he said.
The concentration camp was liberated by the Russians on January 27, 1945. When it was formed, the first soldiers were raised in Czechoslovakia, later for orphans, Lingfield House, in England.
“We realized my mother and father were dead, or my father never came back, my mother disappeared but we weren’t dead,” he said.
“On the fifth of December 1946, the anniversary of my house, we returned home. My mother was in our hope at Rome station and she had so many people. Great multidão. The entire Jewish community in Rome was there. We showed you pictures of the babies and wanted to know if we noticed them. But we don’t have them. It wasn’t until much later that I perceived everything. “O 16 de Outubro”, another, referring to the 1943 operation against Rome.
“The photos were two files 16 Outubra. Look for 200 pages, not one,” he said, explaining that he therefore asks about the days he thinks about everything or who deals with laments currently during the war.
“I would like to end my testimony by saying that I enjoy all the cries of the world, no matter where we live, that we can live the life that can come after the war,” he said to applause from fellow MEPs. “Life is beautiful“.
Tatiana, who currently lives with a Belgian family, and Andra, who lives in California and cannot travel to attend the ceremony due to health reasons, returned to Auschwitz for the first time in 1996.
