Bill to help fund school Memory Trips on Shoah fast-tracked

Upper House in unanimous vote on ex-death camp visits

ROME, JAN 10 - The Senate on Tuesday approved a fast track for a bill to help make it easier for schools to set up 'Memory Trips' to former Nazi death camps and teach students more about deportations of Italy's Jews.

Under the bill, special funding would be made available to Italian high schools for the journeys in memory of the Holocaust.

The Senate vote was unanimous.

Shoah survivor Segre in Senate for 'memory trip' bill

ROME, JAN 18 - Life Senator Liliana Segre, a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor, came to the Senate Wednesday to kickstart a vote on a bill introducing so-called 'Journeys of Memory' to Nazi death camp sites for Italian high-school students.

Segre was welcome by a long round of applause as she made her entry into the Upper House.

The Senate last week approved a fast track for the bill to help make it easier for schools to set up the 'Memory Trips' to former Nazi death camps and teach students more about deportations of Italy's Jews.

Under the bill, special funding would be made available to Italian high schools for the journeys in memory of the Holocaust.

Segre, who spent years in Auschwitz after being deported as a girl, began speaking about her experience in the 1990s.

Segre anti-discrimination panel to be set up again

Senate gives unanimous approval to panel led by Shoah survivor

ROME, JAN 19 - An anti-discrimination panel led by Holocaust survivor and Life Senator Liliana Segre is to be set up again after the Senate gave it unanimous approval Thursday.

The House voted by 157 votes to nil to reconstitute the extraordinary commission for combating phenomena of intolerance, racism, antisemitism and instigation to hatred and violence.

Segre, 92, was deported to Auschwitz as a girl and since the 1990s has been telling younger generations of Italians about her experience.

The first Segre Commission found many cases of antisemitism and racism and took action against them.

In 2019 Segre said that she was willing to meet League leader Matteo Salvini, after his party and other centre-right groups failed to back her proposal of creating an extraordinary commission against hate, racism and anti-semitism.

The centre-right parties' abstentions on the proposal caused a storm, with the Vatican and Rome's Jewish Community among those expressing concern.
The row was later settled and the first commission was set up.

This time the Upper House gave its unanimous approval to the panel.
