title: NOT TO FORGET - TABLE 8 - ATTACHMENT TO LAVORO

subject date: 2015-01-18

caption: SHOAH ''The 'louse race': special treatment for the women of the vanquished'' took place in the extermination camps; selected among the most attractive, the women asked whoever arrived first from the shack to the lousting cabin; there was a reward for the first and a punishment for the last, for whom it would perhaps have been better to die by machine gun fire. In the photo: the women, naked, run under the predatory eyes of their tormentors (see also FSNgilardi_54196.jpg); image and text taken from issue no. 4 of ''Lavoro'' of 23 January 1955. In the series of reports ''Not to 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 The file was then withdrawn, and the publication of the reports suspended, for censorial reasons as the corpses of the victims, insultingly disfigured by the harassment they had suffered,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 8 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.
