““We must not take for granted the freedoms we enjoy today. We need to stay vigilant.””

““You never really leave Auschwitz – it stays within us, and we’re still living it today. Antisemitism still exists … and there’s still an amnesia that must be removed.””

““It’s a day to make an assessment, at least a moral one, of the choices we’ve made and the ones we must make today. It’s a day of ‘civilization assessment.’ … We don’t want it to be just a day to listen to survivors and cry with them. … Making ‘Memory’ means working with coherence and responsibility.””

““I live with very deep concern during this Holocaust Remembrance Day after October 7. It’s not like in previous years … Antisemitic hatred has re-emerged, sharp and widespread. That means maybe 20 years of working on memory hasn’t been enough.””

““Today is a day for Italy, not a pat on the back for Jews. Antisemitism is not a problem for Jews — it's a problem for society.””
