Inter coach Antonio Conte and vice-president Javier Zanetti visited a memorial in Milan to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Wednesday.
The Nerazzurri continued their tradition of visiting the Shoah memorial, a site commemorating the millions of victims who perished tragically during the Second World War.
One of Inter’s former players and coaches Arpad Weisz was among the victims, dying at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in 1944, aged just 47.
Weisz played at Inter for a single season before his career was cut short by injury, going on to have three separate spells as Inter coach which totalled six years.
Conte and Zanetti attended the memorial on Wednesday on behalf of all at Inter and gifted a Nerazzurri shirt bearing Weisz’s name and the number 18.
“Due to the restrictions in place for the current pandemic situation, the Nerazzurri club could not visit the symbolic place of Memory with the boys and girls of the Youth Team as in past years, but still wanted to show their thoughts and their closeness with two exceptional ambassadors,” a statement on Inter’s official website read.
Conte took to Instagram and posted the words: “To Never Forget.”
