"I wanted to compensate you" is a documentary theater performance based on more than 50 interviews with concentration camp survivors, conducted by a young psychologist, Fiorella Rodella, for her bachelor thesis. The magnetic tapes were recently found in a suitcase that had been locked away for more than 25 years. The interviews bring to light fragments of a past told in the voices of those who survived the Holocaust, Holocaust denial, forgetfulness, mistrust and indifference.

Volevo risarcirvi is a performance realized within the project A tutti, voci dalla storia conceived by Liberty and supported by: Unione Reno Galliera, Città Metropolitana di Bologna, Comuni di Baricella,

Granarolo dell'Emilia, Malalbergo e Minerbio, Parco della Memoria Casone del Partigiano "Alfonsino Saccenti", with the contribution of Regione Emilia-Romagna. Liberty would like to thank: Fiorellei Rodella, ANED, Fondazione Gramsci Emilia-Romagna.

International Holocaust Memorial Day commemorates the victims of Nazi atrocities during the Second World War, marking the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in 1945. January 27 was designated by the United Nations General Assembly on November 1, 2005, as a day of remembrance and commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust. Italy officially established the commemorative day on the same date, a few years before a similar UN resolution. This day remembers the victims of the Holocaust, the victims of racial laws, those who risked their lives to protect persecuted Jews.
