Retracing the horror does not necessarily mean a trip to the Nazi concentration camps or to the memorial Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. Even in Italy the Nazis and fascists have left many traces of their policy of annihilation of opponents and Jews in Bolzano, Fossoli Carpi and Trieste, the city of the promulgation of racial laws in 1938. In the city
Julian is the only example of the death camp built in Italy, also equipped with a crematorium. The structure, derived from a plant for husking rice, is relatively unknown compared to the (sadly) the most famous German camps and polacchi.Questo memorial site was declared a National Monument in 1965.
After 8 September, the Nazis used the large complex of buildings, first as a temporary prison camp and later as a detention camp. But its history is closely linked to that of Odilo Globocnik, born in Trieste, which in recent years of the war he was appointed comandante delle SS e della Polizia nella Zona d'operazione dell’Adriatisches Küstenland (province di Udine, Trieste, Gorizia, Pola, Fiume e Lubiana), e fu il responsabile dell'istituzione del campo di concentramento triestino. A lui si deve il successo operativo della Aktion Reinhard, ovvero la liquidazione degli ebrei in Polonia nei campi di sterminio di Belzec e Treblinka.
Nella Risiera di San Sabba trovarono la morte migliaia di oppositori politici; di partigiani italiani, sloveni, croati e serbi; di ebrei. Secondo calcoli basati su testimonianze precise il numero dei corpi cremati nel forno ammonterebbe a circa cinquemila. Circa 25.000 furono i partigiani, gli ostaggi, i detenuti politici, gli ebrei che transitarono per le celle the Rice Mill and from there sent to die in Auschwitz and other concentration camps in Eastern Europe. The crematorium was put into operation 4 April 1944 by a German expert "distinguished himself in Treblinka.
People of nationality, political belief and religious groups were united in a cruel, burned in the crematorium or deported for a trip almost always with no return.

today means a trip to back into the horrors of history. A trip down memory lane in what could be called a "secular church" opencast to reflecting on what has been able to go man.
The "monument" must be primarily within ourselves, in our minds and our hearts. Bruno
