The Young Democrats of Gravina, commemorate and remember the more than six million victims of the Holocaust, the Nazi-Fascist barbarity, horror of human madness.
We would like to remember this sad event with the first part of "If This Is a Man" by Primo Levi, Holocaust survivor:
You who live safe
in your warm houses,
you who are returning in the evening
hot food and friendly faces
Consider if this is a man
who works in the mud
that knows no peace
fighting for half a loaf
dying for a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman,
without hair and unnamed
no more strength to remember
eyes empty and her womb cold
like a frog 'winter.
forget that this was:
Remember these words.
Engrave in your heart
staying at home or in the street,
lying down, getting up.
Repeat them to your children.
O there undone the house,
illness impede you,
twist your face you were born .
