A rabbi and a Catholic priest led a religious service Friday at the Ardeatine Caves outside Rome on the 34th anniversary of the Nazi World War II reprisal massacre of 335 people, 70 of them Jews. At the ceremony, none of the usual speeches was read. Instead, relatives of the victims prayed quietly. Giovanni Gigliozzi, president of the Association for Families of Martyrs Fallen for Liberty, said quiet meditation had been preferred to speeches following the March 16 kidnapping of Christian Democratic Party President Aldo Moro. He said the kidnapping outrage arose “from the same violence that killed the Ardeatine Cave martyrs. Violence has no color or party.”
