Re: Rome Remembrance Run – 22 January 2017

Dear Friends,

I am delighted to share with you a wonderful initiative of the Union of Jewish Communities of Italy: the ‘Run for Remembrance’, which will be held in Rome as part of the International Holocaust Commemoration Day activities, on 22 January 2017.

The Run for Remembrance will consist of two separate races, one of 10 KM and one of 3.6 KM, and each of the runs will stop at places of historical significance along the way and pay tribute to the victims of Nazism.

WJC is very pleased to be supporting this initiative of the Italian community and we are inviting our member communities to send some participants to join in the run.

Attached is the Flyer for the event (click to download): please share this with members of your community.

Those wishing to participate in the run should register here:

I am sure that this will be a very successful event, and perhaps other communities may be inspired by this initiative to arrange similar activities in years to come.

Best wishes,
Robert Singer
