The EU Local Dialogue "Remembering the Holocaust, honouring the Ulma family" hosted by our member Lorenzo Galligani in Pistoia saw great participation and engagement by the local community.

Organised in cooperation with the European Committee of the Regions and the Podkarpackie Region, the panel discussion focused on the remarkable story of the Ulma family who bravely rescued and sheltered Jewish people in their home during the Holocaust. The event also featured a photo exhibition. A documentary on the story of the Ulma family was shown to local schools in the morning.

Guest speakers of the panel debate included the mayor of Pistoia Alessandro Tomasi , the First Vice-President of Podkarpackie region Piotr Pilch, the Vice Prefect Vicar Roberto Caiati and the Vice President of the Regional Council of Precarpathia Czesław Łączak, among others.
