2018 Holocaust remembrance programs to focus on Italy
2018 Holocaust remembrance programs to focus on Italy
In commemoration of the annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day this year, a number of Winnipeg Jewish groups have partnered with the Italian community to focus on the plight of the Jews of Italy during the Holocaust. Numerous organizations will be participating, including Winnipeg’s Freeman Family Foundation Holocaust Education Centre, B’nai Brith Canada, The Dante Alighieri Society, which promotes Italian culture, and La Lupa di Roma Lodge, an Italian sisterhood group. Stan Carbone, the Italian vice-consul for Manitoba, and the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada’s program director are participating in the 2018 program, as well. Belle Jarniewski, chair of the Freeman Family Foundation Holocaust Education Centre, explained that each year, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) rotates to a different country. This year, it will be chaired by Italy, in recognition of the 80th anniversary of the racial laws enacted against the Jews in that country. https://www.cjnews.com/news/canada/2...ms-focus-italy |
