“Today (Saturday 11/9) marks seventy-five years since the so-called 'Kristallnacht', the pogrom during the night between 9 and 10 November 1938 against Jews, synagogues, homes and businesses, which represented a sad step towards the tragedy of the Shoah.

And we pray to God that the memory of the past, the memory of past sins, may help us always to be vigilant against any form of hate or intolerance”.
