In Hebrew, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem “Jad Wa-Shem” means: “I remember the names”, and the word “Shem” is the root of the name of the Semitic peoples, including the Arabs. In fact the Semitic languages ​​(Syriac, Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew and Phoenician) have spread in the Ethiopian region and North Africa.

If the names are forgotten, it is as if all these people did not exist anymore, definitely.
So recount, biblical and Jewish characteristic of all ages (… you tell your son), it is also a way to bring to life the dead, as in a religious ceremony.
So we list them, let them, tell them one by one.
All pilgrims and tourists should visit the memorial “Jad Washem” which is like a sacred place.
Above all we must go in the children’s gallery. Beyond darkness are called names, places of origin and place of death of a half million children killed in Nazi death camps.

Sciesopoli and the list of his children, however, tells the remarkable rebirth of life, which is no longer conditioned by a refusal to remember and talk about the past.
The Sciesopoli memory and this list is a “small” guide to the memory of the Holocaust, a way to preserve and pass on the names to the new generations, so that the genocide and racism never return.
