Though International Holocaust Remembrance Day just passed (on Jan. 27), there’s still a chance to remember those who suffered at the hands of the Nazis and Fascists (and other rogue regimes).
The Italian Cultural Institute in Washington, DC, will hold a screening of the documentary La Strada di Levi on Tuesday, January 29 at 6 p.m. Here’s the press release write-up:
The International Holocaust Remembrance Day which was officially established in 2005 by the United Nations as an annual world day of commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and has been held in Italy since the year 2000. On January 27, 1945, the concentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland, was liberated by the advancing Red Army of the Soviet Union. Among the prisoners was Italian writer Primo Levi, whose journey back to his hometown Turin, is depicted by Davide Ferrario’s documentary, combining a careful historical investigation with a cutting insight into today’s Europe.
