Una lezione di storia «dal vivo»
Villa Minozzo: studenti dello Iodi al processo per la strage di Cervarolo
VILLA MINOZZO. Una lezione di storia contemporanea "dal vivo". E' questa l'esperienza degli alunni della 5ª classe dell'istituto Don Zeffirino Iodi che mercoledì e venerdì participated in the hearings process that is taking place in Verona against 11 German army officers accused of war crimes for killing civilians and Cervarolo Civago, March 20, 1944. Jessica Leto, Federica Zurlini, Natalia Bandalac, LOUKILI Sabrina, Stefania Nulchis, Alex and Christina Fornaciari Colosimo, accompanied by teachers of law values \u200b\u200band history, have followed the process starts, and so tell their impressions. 'It was an important experience - they say - because it allowed us to understand historical events, as reconstructed by experts, Carabinieri General Roberto Delia, explained the German army was structured as two researchers and historians, the Professor And Professor Massimo Storchi Paola Rovati, who reconstructed the historical context, namely the German occupation and the Resistance. I had the feeling of a discount to the history and events that compose it, too often described only in the abstract and little studied at school. " You already know the facts of which we discussed in court? "I knew them only briefly and I must say that today I think I know them much better and I could make my opinion more solid and constructive. I had only heard about. Now I am convinced that history, especially recently, should be better known and in-depth, because it is part of our past. I think that recent history should be studied as part of our present life, as at present. " What impressed you most? "I was struck by the description of the facts, in particular, I was impressed to be told how they were planned military operations and plans to involve hitting civilians. The thing that struck me most was the story about the treatment of civilians, women and children driven from their homes, men used as "carriers" of ammunition and then killed. I was very impressed when they talked of killing a pregnant woman and her three children, five and six years. Equally important was the story on all'uccisone men gathered in the yard of Cervarolo, massacred with machine guns that fired from a few meters, not more than two, away. "
Do you have any consideration to do? "What was said made me think about war and its horrors, too many wars going on. I thought that perhaps things are similar to those narrated episodes such as the massacres of Monchio, Cervarolo, Civago still occur today. It 'was an important lesson, as well as the history of life also. I understand that there are just wars. In addition, there is a right and perhaps the duty to defend its own freedom. How did the Partisans, guys who were our age. We must learn to know our past to know how to live the present and to appreciate and defend those for which they died for our freedom and our young age.
