KATERINA DIMA

A song against the horrors of Nazism.

It is a song that many of those who heard it fell in love with, perhaps even more than the man who dedicated it. The mystique of the melody, the sensuality of the voices, the vividness of the emotions, the vibration of the senses, take you so far away from logic, so deep into the center of the universe of human "wholeness", that sense of the eternal, the untouchable, of the undefiled, the immortal, that love promises you, so much so that it makes you feel that no one has ever discovered or will discover, has tasted or will taste, has not shed or will shed, has not dissolved or will dissolve for love like you. How no one has felt this eerie caress, which sometimes looks like sky sometimes breath of the abyss, sometimes fire of the senses sometimes death's spark, as strongly as you, as strongly as this song makes you feel on your skin as it exorcises death, since every love, every orgasm of the senses, is a small death – and that is why love, this "androgynous" entity, is the only living immortality, the only magician who can always do the same, with this one and only spell, to defeat the perishable.

At the same time, however, the council hit with its negative vote the campaign to promote the twenty-year European program called "Stolpersteine" ("Skopelos"), which was launched on the initiative of the sculptor Gander Demnig in 1996.
"Skopelos" are metal signs, which are placed on the sidewalks of cities across Europe, in front of the houses of Holocaust victims. So far, more than 1.200 large and small cities, including 500 German ones, are participating in the European project. About 54.000 "scopes" have been installed in total. Demnig's supporters believe that having the signs in public places keeps the memory of the Holocaust alive and reminds passers-by of the fate of each victim.
