From oppression and violence
Their soul shall be redeemed
[Star of David]
1939 - 1945
Two hundred Jews of Venice
Eight thousand Jews of Italy
Six million Jews of Europe
By blind and barbaric hatred
Driven out, tormented, annihilated in distant lands
The memory of the most atrocious offense against human civilization
Calls upon all mankind to return to the holy law of God
And to the feelings of brotherhood and love
Which Israel was the first to proclaim among the nations.
