The Municipality of Oristano celebrates Remembrance Day.

The Municipality of Oristano celebrates Remembrance Day.

At 9.30, in Piazza Eleonora, in the flowerbed in front of the church of San Francesco, near the olive tree and the plaque commemorating the tragedy of the Shoah, the Mayor Massimiliano Sanna and the Prefect Salvatore Angieri, in the presence of the other city authorities and institutions, will place a floral composition.

At 10.15 am, in the Council Chamber of the Municipality, on the initiative of the Department of Youth Policies and the Youth Council, the conference will be held “The short- and long-term consequences of Nazi Germany's policies” edited by Professor Christian Rossi, professor of history of European integration of the Department of Political Science of the University of Cagliari.

Remembrance Day was established by law in 2000 in memory of the extermination and persecution of the Jewish people and of the Italian military and political deportees in the Nazi camps. The tragic events that struck Europe in the first half of the last century are commemorated, to testify to the commitment of the institutions and of the entire Oristano community in memory of the Shoah and the courage of the righteous, men and women who saved other lives by protecting the persecuted, and to therefore strengthen - today and in the future - the memory of a nefarious period in Italian and European history, so that similar events can never happen again.
