Great public success for the Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration organized by the Consulate General of Italy in Miami and the Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the American Jewish Committee of South Florida. The event, also a tribute to the works of the great Italian writer Primo Levi, offered an opportunity for deep reflection on the moral legacy of the Shoah, engaging the Italian community and representatives of Florida’s large Jewish community, one of the largest in the United States. The program opened with the presentation of the American edition of the "Complete Works" of Primo Levi, curated by writer Ann Goldstein, who was present at the event, and published with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Actor Lorenzo Patanè read excerpts from If This Is a Man and The Truce in both English and Italian. Representatives from research centers at the University of Miami, Jewish community associations, and organizations affiliated with the AJC then spoke on the topic of transmitting the Shoah’s legacy to future generations. Stephanie Rose, co-founder of 3G Miami (an organization bringing together grandchildren of Holocaust survivors), conversed with Miriam Klein Kassenoff, who escaped extermination in Slovakia as a child and is a respected Yad Vashem scholar. Journalist and director Leslie Benitah presented short videos from her documentary The Last Ones, which captures the voices of the last living survivors of the Holocaust horrors. The event concluded with Rabbi Julie Jacobs (Center for Jewish Life at Beth David) leading a moment of reflection and spirituality, reaffirming the shared responsibility of keeping the memory alive to ensure that history’s absolute evil is never repeated.
