- Synopsis
- Jews in Italy under Fascist and Nazi Rule, 1922-1945, brings to light the Italian-Jewish experience from the start of Mussolini's prime ministership through the end of the Second World War. Challenging the myth of Italian benevolence during the Fascist period, the authors investigate the treatment of Jews by Italians during the Holocaust and the native versus foreign roots of Italian Fascist anti-Semitism. Each essay in this volume illustrates a different aspect of Italian Jewry under Fascist and Nazi rule. Areas of inquiry include the role of the Catholic Church with special reference to Pope Pius XII, Mussolini's attitude, and anti-Jewish persecution. Included also is an examination of cover images and articles from the Italian racist newspaper, La Difesa della Razza, intended to lay bare the influence of the Italian media on the general Italian public.
