  • 2. S2E2: Antisemitism in Italy

    36:17||Season 2, Ep. 2
    In this episode, I sit down with Gadi Luzzatto Voghera, director of the CDEC Foundation since 2016 and an esteemed historian specializing in contemporary Judaism and the modern age. We discuss the pressing issue of antisemitism in Italy, exploring its historical roots, current manifestations, and efforts to combat it. For this episode, I traveled to Milan to the Memoriale della Shoah, a Holocaust memorial at the Milano Centrale railway station commemorating the Jewish prisoners deported from there during the Holocaust in Italy. Jewish prisoners from the San Vittore Prison, Milan, were taken to a secret underground platform, Platform 21 (Italian: Binario 21), where they were loaded onto freight cars and transported on Holocaust trains to extermination camps, either directly or via other transit camps. Twenty trains and up to 1,200 Jewish prisoners left Milan in this fashion to be murdered, predominantly at Auschwitz. I sat there, inside that poignant setting, with Gadi Luzzatto Voghera. Join us for an insightful conversation on this critical topic.Hosted by Dr. Omar Mohammed, "36 Minutes on Antisemitism" is an interactive bi-monthly podcast that explores the contemporary dynamics of antisemitism across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
