“There is an effort every day by everyone to unite because April 25th is everyone’s day, there have been no political differences, no differences of religion, truly no distinction in those who have chosen to sacrifice their lives in those days to give us freedom. Let’s find this value of unity, let’s make sure that there is no one who takes possession of it from one side or the other, there is no nostalgia. It is about the courage and the absolute value of anti-fascism undeniably recognized by all of us”. Thus the president of the Jewish Community of Rome Ruth Dureghello regarding the letter from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on April 25 to Corriere della Sera.
