Giorno della memoria
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
In the late 1938 Antisemitic Racial Laws passed in Italy. Jews were expelled from schools, isolated from the rest of society, and their possessions confiscated. Italian responsibility continued through the years. The Racial Laws were not abrogated when the fascist regime falled on July 25, 1943, and 8,000 Italian Jews were deported to death camps. In the year 2000 the Italian State established January 27 as the Shoah Memorial Day.
