In una televisione sempre più inguardabile, che da giorni non fa altro che parlarci di sexygate e fare sfoggio di scurrilità varie, ieri sera è tornata la speranza che questo mezzo possa ancora svolgere un ruolo didattico, formativo e di riflessione. I dati auditel ci dicono che ieri sera 1,7 milioni Italians (many, but still few compared to those who watched the match of Italian Cup Napoli-Inter, "Paperissima" or "Chi l'ha visto?") have looked on La7 "Ausmerzen. Lives unworthy of being lived " work by Marco Paolini broadcast live from the psychiatric hospital 'Paolo Pini', Milan. The occasion was the eve of Remembrance Day, which falls on 27th day of January, date of the gates of Auschwitz, "in order to remember the Holocaust (extermination of the Jewish people), the racial laws, the Italian persecution Jewish citizens, the Italians who suffered deportation, imprisonment, death, and those who, even in different fields and camps, have opposed the project of extermination, and at the risk of their lives they have saved more lives and protected persecuted . ( Act July 20, 2000, n. 211).
Belluno The story narrated by the actor in a clear and chilling monologue, the official fuel consumption from 1939 to 1941: the operation Aktion T4, from the initial name of the street in Berlin, the Tiergartestrasse at number four, where he established the Public Authority for Health and social care, and the organization (a sort of holding companies state), who studied and implemented the Nazi program of eugenics, which is the lifting of the mass of children and adults mentally ill or suffering from genetic diseases, considered useless, just "lives unworthy of being lived."
early as 1933 - in line with the ideology of 'racial hygiene "- the law" on the prevention of birth of people suffering from hereditary diseases "began the campaign of mass sterilization of these patients (not less than 200 000 people with mental illness). But since 1939 it passed the so-called "compassionate killing" of children under three years . Reports of suspected cases to the Health Department of the Interior Ministry had to be carried out by midwives and pediatricians. To reassure the parents of the children explained to them that the sick children were moved to special sections where they received pediatric care innovation. Ma una volta internati in questi centri intermedi, dopo poche settimane, venivano trasferiti in altre sedi. E in esse, lontano da occhi indiscreti, venivano uccisi tramite iniezioni letali. Nei certificati di morte tutto veniva coperto con un “decesso per polmonite” o “per arresto cardiaco”. Quasi subito il programma di eliminazione si estese anche agli adulti. Dal 1940 le camere a gas sostituirono le iniezioni. Dal 1941, chiusa Aktion T4 , almeno in modo formale, i malati psichici continuarono ad essere sterminati, facendoli morire per inedia (la cosiddetta dieta E ) Directly in asylums, saving gas and drug-killer. This massacre - almost a "dress rehearsal" of the "final solution" - is always passed in silence, perhaps because it did not add much to the millions of Holocaust victims and condemnation of Nazism and the story about Hitler's dictatorship, or maybe to give us that sort of "preventive self-absolution" .
"Ausmerzen" (meaning reduce ) is a historical chronicle dated, but who has the ability to question the conscience, which still has to do with our daily choices: "What would I do instead of the people? " . That was the difference in this piece of theater than other films or more well-known representations, there was no talk of sadistic SS or Hitler's ruthless hierarchy, but one of 'good people': professional, family doctors, nurses , pediatricians ... This is a period of economic crisis, like that of Germany in the Thirties, during which was sought cooperation of all - including the health workforce - to save the health budget on the skin of persons considered unproductive, because the state must spend on these "life unworthy "so much money that could be redistributed to the" normal "people? At the Nuremberg trial, however, doctors and officials did not suffer penis specimens. "Paradoxically - explains the Paolini - better so : quelle sentenze ci impediscono di pensarli come criminali appartenenti a un’altra galassia e ci è più facile vederli come la ‘brava gente’. Come potrei essere io, o i miei vicini di casa”.
“I periodi di crisi economica – continua l’attore – fanno mutare i parametri e creano l’occasione perché certe idee possano trovare cittadinanza, tolleranza. Idee che dovrebbero, however, be banned together with who the champions. It is as if the crisis produced a lowering of attention of conscience . " It should not be complacent in our days at a time of crisis and cuts in public services such as present, the first resources that are cut are those new aid to most vulnerable. For example, it has come to challenge a model of integration which is one of the jewels of the Italian school system by reviving the idea of \u200b\u200bspecial classes, a regional minister of Health has proposed that organ transplants are inhibited to those below a certain IQ, just last year he wanted to ask doctors to the filing of the patients illegal aliens ... the conditions there seem to be very different?
Well, yesterday was the disabled, the mentally ill, Jews, Slavs and Poles, Roma, German dissidents, communists, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and Pentecostals. Even today some of these classes continue to be mistreated, perhaps less awkward with other epithets ("irregular", for example) and other seemingly legitimate methods (the "rejections" for esempio), e a queste probabilmente se ne aggiungono altre nuove.
Ma siamo davvero certi che non ci saremmo comportati (e che non ci comportiamo) come quei medici e come quegli infermieri?
