January 27: THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE Marcia

"You who live safe In your warm houses, You who find
returning in the evening, Hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is
a man who works in the mud, who knows no peace, fighting for a crust of bread, who dies a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman with no hair and no name, no more strength to remember, Her eyes empty and her womb cold Like a frog in winter.
forget that this is about: I these words.
Carve them in your hearts, being at home, going away, lying down, getting up
Repeat them to your children. "
(Primo Levi, If This Is a Man).
