Antisemitic Flyers Featuring Hitler and Mussolini Surface in Rome's Portonaccio District

In Portonaccio, an eastern district of Rome, antisemitic flyers have appeared featuring Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini wearing Roma jerseys on either side of Mr. Enrich, the iconic mascot of Lazio's fanbase and the Irriducibili group, dressed in a striped pajama, like the deportees. Another disgrace just days before the derby on Saturday, April 6. Hitler's face is drawn, while Mussolini's is a collage of a photograph. Above the three faces, the image of the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp and the inscription "Arbeit macht frei," "work sets you free." The stickers were attached to road signs, lighting poles, and some buildings and would have been made by a well-known Roma ultra close to far-right environments. This is certainly not the first time that the Holocaust outrage and the Capital derby have intertwined: in March of last year, just to recall a precedent, in the North Curve a Lazio fan proudly wore and flaunted a shirt with "Hitlerson 88" written on it, while antisemitic chants came from the stands.
