Also this year, the Community of Sant�Egidio, together with the Jewish Community of Rome has remembered the deportation of the Roman Jews, that took place on October 16th 1943, during the Nazi occupation of the city.
An International meeting, organized in the Campidoglio together with the Union of the Italian Jewish Communities, has dealt with the issue of �An Europe Free from Anti-Semitism�. At the end a march was held, that ended in the very centre of the old Jewish quarter, where �Square October 16th� was officially inaugurated.

It is an important sign when a city decides to commemorate in its toponomy such a tragedy which is a part of the larger tragedy of Shoah. This had been a proposal brought forth for a long time by the Community. It finally became concrete. It is also a way to say no to intolerance and to violence that are still hidden in every day�s life. As it happened in Rome, where a young immigrant has been attacked and almost killed.
Other memories have characterized these weeks, as that of witnesses of faith in the 20th Century. The marvellous icon placed in the church of S. Bartolomeo at the Isola Tiberina shows them.

There is no future without memory, and remembering is not ritualistic. Also the web-site helps to remember many far places and situations. And we are happy to communicate to all friends of Sant�Egidio Newsletter that, just today, our web-site has been awarded the WWW2002 � Il Sole 24 Ore prize as the best Italian site in the category of Associations.
