The Colosseum is pictured with its lights turned off to mark World Holocaust Remembrance
The Colosseum is pictured with its lights turned off to mark World Holocaust Remembrance Day as a bus drives past in downtown Rome January 27, 2013. The lights dimming, initiated by Romes city government and the local Jewish community, was also to protest against the anti-Semitic acts and statements by Hungarys far right opposition Jobbik Party, according to local media.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image, the iconic Colosseum stands tall and majestic in downtown Rome. However, on this particular day, its lights are turned off as a poignant tribute to World Holocaust Remembrance Day. The darkness that envelops the ancient amphitheater serves as a solemn reminder of the atrocities committed during one of humanity's darkest chapters. As a bus passes by, oblivious to the significance of the moment captured by photographer Max Rossi, it adds an element of contrast between everyday life and historical remembrance. The long exposure technique employed by Rossi enhances the impact of this scene, creating an ethereal aura around the Colosseum. The decision to dim the lights was not only intended to honor Holocaust victims but also served as a protest against anti-Semitic acts and statements made by Hungary's far-right opposition party at that time. This gesture demonstrates how art can be used as a form of peaceful resistance against hatred and discrimination. This photograph encapsulates both history and contemporary issues, reminding us that we must never forget past horrors while actively working towards building a more inclusive future. It is through such visual narratives that we are compelled to reflect upon our collective responsibility in preventing similar injustices from happening again.
