Today, January 27, marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, an international memorial day for the victims of the Holocaust.
In Italian, the commemoration is known as Giorno della Memoria, so our Word of the Week is MEMORIA.
Besides remembrance, the word memoria in Italian refers to memory, the ability to remember, ricordare.
ITALY Magazine joins in remembering the victims of the Holocaust, as well as all the victims of oppression and persecution of any kind around the world.
