(ANSA) - Rome, June 10 - Italian Jews on Friday condemned
the planned free distribution of Adolph Hitler's autobiography
Mein Kampf (My Battle) together with Saturday's edition of
right-wing newspaper Il Giornale.
"The free distribution...is a squalid fact that is light
years away from all logic of studying the Shoah and the
different factors that led the whole of humanity to sink into an
abyss of unending hatred, death and violence," the president of
the Union of Italian Jewish Communities Renzo Gattegna said in a
statement.
"It must be stated clearly: the Giornale's operation is
indecent. And in particular the message must come from those who
are called to oversee and intervene concerning the professional
ethics of Italian journalists," Gattegna concluded.
