On Italy’s sacred Liberation Day, the day the country celebrates its 1945 victory over Nazi-Fascist forces, descendants of the Jewish Brigade and Milan’s Jewish community were surrounded, insulted, and forcibly removed from the main parade under police escort.
Demonstrators (far-left and pro-Palestinian groups) blocked their path, chanting:
- “Zionists out of Milan”
- “Long live Hitler”
- “You’re lucky you’re not soap bars” (a grotesque reference to Nazi atrocities)
Police eventually extracted the Jewish participants for their safety after a tense standoff lasting over an hour. Emanuele Fiano, a Jewish former Italian MP, said bluntly: “We were kicked out. I can’t describe it any other way.”
