HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
There’s just some hours left and this day will be gone, but I just wanted to share with you a thought that has nothing to do with football and with our situation at the moment.
I’m writing from home, because the flu 'hangover’ prevented me from leaving to Milan with my team, where we’ll be playing against Inter tomorrow.
Today is the 27th of January. Holocaust Memorial Day.
I’m 35, so, fortunately, I didn’t live through the Holocaust. But almost everyone of us has or had a relative, or just somebody we know who lived through this experience, or simply read or heard about what happened: the biggest tragedy, generated by human madness.
Nobody can forget those six millions of Jewish people killed. Today, being a father myself, I feel responsibility to seize the sense of this day to pass it then to my children, as soon as they will be big enough to understand it.
I’m sure that it was real useful to establish a day to stop to think about what happened, especially for children and young people. Because it is necessary to remember, not to deny, to learn more, to know in order to understand. And to share the pain of those who still live thorough the memory of that tragedy.
