Memory and forgetting

Today I will talk about the memory and forgetting... I think that is an important topic first of all because it may have psychological consequences and also is a contingent subject in our country. 

Today I read a news about a man called Priebke who recently died. This man participated of one massacres in 1944 in Italy in the second war world and he was a nazi. 

Although that his crime was proven... this man was judged in 1998 when his age did difficult a real sentence.

His crime wasnt judged in 50 years and for this reason the families of the victims felt victimized for many time and this things always bring psychological consequences. 

The families of the victims and the jewish community for many time and today only hope that Priebke responds for his crimes when he meet with God.

With the dead of this man, the jewish community said that is a shame that Priebke never has paid for his crimes in this world. He after than war ended went to live to Argentina and he returned to Italy in 1995.

Although Priebke was sentenced for the rest of his life in 1998, this sentence wasnt in the jail for his age. 

He was placed under house arrest. 

And when he celebrated his 90 years old he could do a party with his friends and his family... He never had a real sentence. 

I hope that you enjoy this post!! regards
