Vera Vigevani de Jarach arrives 86 years ago from Milan, Italy, by boat, fleeing the racial laws of fascist Italy. Her grandfather dies in Auschwitz. There is no grave to mourn him. Another genocide strikes three decades later. Vera's only daughter, Franca Jarach, is disappeared by the dictatorship. Nor is there a grave to leave her a flower. ''I have two stories that prove that what happened once can happen again,'' she warns. A Mother of the Plaza de Mayo of the Founding Line and a member of the Argentine Historical and Social Memory Foundation, Vera dies at the age of 97. Vera is born on March 5, 1928, in northern Italy. She and her family decide to come to Argentina to escape fascism. They travel on the Augustus ship, traveling second class because they don't have money for more. On the journey, the children--despite the horrors stalking them--play. What amuses them most is hide-and-seek. ''I am still a little girl, but when I arrive my childhood is over,'' she says.

In Rome, Italy, on January 27, 2024, a candlelight procession is taking place to remember the ''forgotten'' victims of the Holocaust: the Rom-Sinti people, homosexuals, and disabled people. On the occasion of the Holocaust Victims Remembrance Day, Opera Nomadi is organizing a commemoration in Via degli Zingari to honor the victims of the Porrajmos Rom-Sinti extermination and those homosexuals and disabled individuals who were also targeted. Luciana Romoli, known as the 'child of the Resistance,' who was expelled at the age of eight from all schools in the Kingdom for rebelling against the racial laws that affected her Jewish classmate, is present at the event.
