President of Rome's Jewish community
Ruth Dureghello said on Tuesday there is no room for ambiguity
over the significance of Liberation Day, the April 25 national
holiday on which Italy marks the liberation from Fascism and the
Nazi occupation.
"On this day there can be no ambiguity, there must be a clear
message that passes without instrumentalization and watering
down of the past," said Dureghello shortly after a wreath-laying
ceremony at Rome's Porta San Paolo "to remember the resistance
of the Allied troops that allowed Italy to be liberated from
Nazi-Fascist oppression and regain its well-deserved and
dignified freedom".
"It is precisely thanks to the sacrifice of men and so many
women that today we can still recognize ourselves in the
absolute and inescapable values of anti-Fascism and democracy
that also guard our present," said Dureghello.
