Holocaust Remembrance 2018

Join us for the annual ceremony of the reading of the names.

On January 29, 2018, the Consulate General of Italy, Centro Primo Levi, the Italian Cultural Institute, Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò at NYU, the Calandra Institute for Italian American Studies and the Italian Academy at Columbia University, invite you to participate in the ceremony of Holcaust Remembrance and the reading of the names of 9,700 Jews deported from Italy and the territories under Italian control.

In light of the wars that plague many regions of the world and the plight of civilian refugees, the ceremony will also commemorate the arrival of persecuted Jews to New York and other American cities, the importance of organized relief efforts and the difference made by the possibility to leave Europe and find safe haven on other shores.

The year 2018 marks the 80th anniversary of the promulgation of the Race Laws signed by Benito Mussolini and the King of Italy in the fall of 1938. Programs on this topic will take place in October and November.
