Merolla REPLICA WHO argues
EVEN TRIP MEMORY
Mayor Antonio Merolla, while en route to Auschwitz, there is the controversy raised by a newspaper about the initiative for the seventh consecutive year brings 300 children visiting the Nazi death camps and in Cisterna sponsor and organizer for the entire province.
"Once again - comments Merolla - I have read in the newspapers but news is not true especially in this case that diminish and make low-profile initiative as praiseworthy Pontino Journey of Remembrance. One sensitive issue, important, a wound still open and that humanity will be celebrated worldwide on 27 January. It is not a school trip and even pleasure. It 's a real journey where the Province of Latina, the town of Cisterna leader, was among the first in Italy to bring such a large number of middle third of the boys to visit and touch the places of the horror of war with the aim of promoting a culture of peace. It 's a journey that requires sacrifices to deal with two days on a bus. But this sacrifice gives even more strength and importance to this trip.
The boys involved were selected by their teachers because of the experience worthwhile and spokesman at their fellow
Instead, once again there are those who want to find the dark in the simplest things that this government does , also for 7 years, receiving many praises for the initiative for the organization. To those who complain about face book for the closure of the course to coincide with the departure of the bus last Sunday, probably does not live in the tank or perhaps can not remember which is the case every year 7 years. It 'a conscious decision and wanted just to let everyone know that our city guys are going to face a long and arduous journey to sad places, full of pain, u'esperienza that will enrich them from within.
Last year I participated for the first time the boys reached by plane. This year I pretended to be on their side because the trip is a part, as important, this experience. Including the socialization experience and relationships that expands and grow between boys from different schools and cities.
E 'a major effort which every year we go to meetings, running three hundred thirteen children around Europe. Because as you know the visit is not limited to concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau but also Foibe, Oswiecim, and other important places for the training of our young people. Furthermore I will present to the Mayor of Oswiecim, known as the City of Peace, a copy of the book by the late national Rinaldo Rinaldi, demonstrating that these tragic events also affect our city. "
"I hope, therefore, that should not happen again steric controversy on this trip, leaving them rather with other issues of administrative and political life of our city."
