La medaglia di “Giusto tra le Nazioni” è stata consegnata qualche settimana fa a Roma dall’Ambasciatore di Israele presso la Santa Sede, Mordechay Lewy, alla memoria di padre Raffaele de Ghantuz Cubbe. Il padre gesuita ha infatti salvato dallo sterminio tre bambini ebrei durante gli anni 1942-1947, quando nel bel mezzo della guerra mondiale, il regime nazista catturava e deportava tutta la popolazione di origine ebraica al fine di portarla nel campi di sterminio. In quell’epoca padre Raffaele de Ghantuz Cubbe ricopriva l’incarico di rettore del Nobile Collegio di Mondragone presso Frascati ed era vice presidente della Pontificia Opera di Assistenza (POA), voluta da Pio XII per il sostegno the victims of the Second World War. After October 16, 1943, when the Nazis raided the ghetto in Rome to deport all Jews, Graziano Sonnino and his brother Mario and his cousin Mark Lapworth after seeking refuge in the Roman countryside were able to save themselves in the Noble College at Mondragone Frascati where they were housed until the war ended. Sonnino Graziano said: "The acceptance of Cubbie father saved us from the Holocaust and the Nazi madness. It allowed us to live a near normal this difficult period. At the end of the war remains to college for another 4 years. E 'Cubbie father was - he added - along with his brother, father Renieri First, Dante Marsec father, father Alberto Parisi, Ulysses Floridi father, father and father Silvio Umberto Benassi Zaccari, to welcome us under their protection and to ensure that the murderous rage that shook the head of the Jews did not hit us. " During the ceremony, Dr. Livia Link Adviser on Political and Public Affairs Embassy of Israel in Rome, explained that as stated in the grounds of recognition, Cubbie father "chose to hide the children of his own life at risk and without attempts to convert children to the Catholic faith. " In fact, not only Cubbie father hid and protected the children, but it proved more respectful of their Jewish identity and enable them to meet even their own dietary rules. The President of the Jewish community of Rome, Riccardo Pacifici, was present and recalled that his father himself was saved by a Catholic priest. He pointed out that among the Righteous by Yad Vashem, there are 487 Italians. In presenting the Medal of the Righteous in the hands of his nephew's father Cubbie, Mr Mordechay Lewy, Israeli Ambassador to the Holy See, said something very important: "His courage and compassion led him to save the lives of Jews. Honoring his memory highlight his personal courage, but remember also that of many men in Italy, and Rome in particular, distinguished themselves in the rescue of Jews. E 'was certainly their humanitarian instincts, but it would be unwise to assume that they acted without the consent of their superiors and of the highest Catholic authorities. The news also appeared on the agency Zenit.it.
