You Don’t Go on a Trip to Auschwitz, Says Parolin

Rome: Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin remarked on Wednesday that people don’t go on a trip to Auschwitz. His statement came in response to comments made by Family Minister Eugenia Roccella, who suggested that Italian school trips to Auschwitz are organized to connect anti-Semitism with Fascism. This remark has sparked a furore in Italy.

According to Ansa News Agency, Parolin emphasized that a visit to Auschwitz is meant to remember a significant tragedy that affected the people of Israel. He stressed that this remembrance should serve as a warning to everyone, especially in light of the current rise in anti-Semitism.
