title: NOT TO FORGET - TABLE 10 - ATTACHMENT TO LAVORO

subject date: 2015-01-18

caption: SHOAH ''...and they made the deportees tumble down their -Mohammedan ladders-''; this is what they called the ramps built with scientific criteria to efficiently exhaust the victims and select the too weak, the ''unusable''; The deportees who were so exhausted they could no longer connect were called ''Mohammedans''. In the photo: the ''Mohammedan staircase'' of the Mauthausen camp; image and text extracted from issue no. 4 of ''Lavoro'' of 23 January 1955. In the series of reports ''Not to forget'', the rotogravure had published explicit images relating to the Shoah for the first time in Italy; 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 The file was then withdrawn, and the publication of the reports suspended, on censorial grounds as the corpses of the victims, insultingly disfigured by the harassment they had suffered,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 10 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.
