IC GARIBALDI SAN VITO ROMANO_SECONDARY SCHOOL (PROF.SSA CRISTINA GALIZIA)
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the creation of the racial laws in Italy and Germany, which also involved the allied states, the IIIA students analyzed the violent language used in the racial laws and in the speeches of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The students found similarities between the violent language of Matilda's parents and that of the racial laws. Both use "animalization", or comparisons with animals, to offend and discriminate; both are humiliated; both limit the freedom of the individual (LINK TO BLOG)
The students of IIIA of San Vito Romano (Rome), then tried to identify themselves with journalists of the time and to emulate violent language, producing newspaper articles. They used the free Printing Press app
They also wrote some creative letters or diary, imagining to be Jews who suffer the conseguences of racial laws: Here the texts:

On 10 May, the boys from San Vito Romano and other schools in the province of Rome met Sami Modiano, an Italian Jew who survived Auschwitz. It was a very touching meeting: Sami told his sad story and the boys met him. Here is the video of the whole meeting, organized by CRISTINA GALIZIA:
