title: NOT TO FORGET - TABLE 13 - ATTACHMENT TO LAVORO

subject date: 2004-11-30

caption: SHOAH ''If you have forgotten us you cannot ask for mercy for your children''; until the last moment it could, German militarism massacred the defenseless, operating gas chambers and crematoria. In the photo: an expanse of tortured victims, this is how the Allies found the fields in which, more than on the battlefields, the Hitlerite army preferred to annihilate the enemy; image and text taken from issue no. 7 of ''Lavoro'' of 13 February 1955. In the series of reports ''To not forget'', the rotogravure had published for the first time in Italy explicit images relating to the Shoah; the event was the origin of a parliamentary debate, for which the CGIL periodical provided a summary brochure for documentary purposes, also attaching it to the magazine. The file was then withdrawn, and the publication of the reports suspended, on censorial grounds as the corpses of the victims, insultingly disfigured by the harassment they had suffered, were also visibly naked; in Italy in the 1950s, outrage against modesty could be considered more offensive than outrage against humanity. Plate 13 from ''To not forget'', a summary booklet created by Ando Gilardi (1921 - 2012) #andogilardi with extracts from the services published in the illustrated weekly magazine of the CGIL. Attachment to no. 7 of ''Lavoro'', Italy 13 February 1955.
