I have to congratulate you for having organized alderman Pra an evening dedicated to the Day of Memory Dolo inviting the son of Giorgio Perlasca, Franco.
Giorgio Perlasca, Padua and who fought as a volunteer in East Africa and in Spain under Franco, was in Budapest in late 1944 as a trader. Helped by Spain, which to him had been a sign of gratitude for what has been done by Frank himself, not to end up interned in Germany, he remained in Hungary and began to save the Jews on behalf of the English Government. After the escape of the English, Perlasca, rather than escape to Switzerland with him, he decided to stay in Hungary to save Jews from deportation other improvising him the English ambassador in Budapest. Thanks to his intervention well 5,200 Jews were saved from death. Its history was unknown, even to the family, until three of the escaped death rang the doorbell Perlasca. From there began the road of remembrance. For his act was recognized Righteous Among the Righteous by the State of Israel and a tree was planted in his memory at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
addition to the story of the life of Giorgio Perlasca and action of his son, head of the foundation dedicated to his father, also spoke at the Rag. Zara, dolese citizen of Jewish origin, which at night in winter of 1944 was taken by fascist squads in his house with his brothers and taken to prisons in Via Piave. After twenty days of imprisonment small Zara have been issued by the fascists after the public outcry at the Casa del fascio.
There were also musical moments, thanks to David Adamovich, who sang hymns in ancient Hebrew, and times of readings of excerpts of Primo Levi and read by two actors association dolese the "Stage".
E 'was an interesting evening where dolesi have spoken in many and we hope that the same stream, if not more, there will be Feb. 9 at the auditorium of Lazzari at the Day of Remembrance of the victims Julian-Dalmatian infoibate in 1945 at the end of World War II.
