Honoured to join the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem in recognizing Donatello and Zelmira De Luigi as Righteous Among the Nations for risking their lives to save the Strom family during the Nazi occupation of Rome.
A privilege to stand alongside Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan, the Ambassadors of Italy and Israel to Canada, and the De Luigi family, represented by nephew Emilio DeLuigi.
As a proud Italian Canadian, this recognition holds special meaning. Our Italian and Jewish communities share a history of friendship, solidarity and standing together when it matters most.
The De Luigi family’s actions remind us that solidarity is defined by what we do, not simply what we say.
At a time of rising antisemitism, their example remains as relevant as ever. We honour their legacy by standing unequivocally with our Jewish friends and defending the freedoms and dignity of every Canadian.
Sempre Avanti.
