Abstract:
During the Repubblica sociale italiana (1943-45), the collaboration of Italian police officers with the Nazis was critical for the arrest, internment, and deportation of almost 7,000 Jews. The Jews were considered, under new legislation, as enemies of the state, equivalent to foreign Jews. Throughout the German-occupied areas, temporary camps were established in which Jews were concentrated before being transferred to Fossoli di Carpio, from where they were deported to camps in Germany and in Eastern Europe. Takes, as an example, the camp of Vo' Vecchio, near Padua, as an example of the way these camps were established and administered and of the relations between Italian officers and the Nazis. The Italians were in charge of arresting the Jews and running the camps; the Nazis were in charge of the deportations. The new camps were different than the old Italian ones; they were conceived specifically for the organization of the deportation of the Jews. Nevertheless, Italian regulations were indulgent toward the elderly, women and children, and the sick, unlike the Nazi ones. The differences in that regard were sometimes settled by negotiations, but mostly by the imposition of the Nazi view.
