Abstract:
Surveys the political situation in Italy before the fascist regime came to power. Underlines that the unification of Italy occurred against the will of the clergy; one of its consequences was the promotion of Jews in Italian political life. All of the parties accepted Jews as members. Antisemitic propaganda began to appear in 1922. Some Jews became members of the Fascist Party, but many of them were active in anti-fascist organizations. The first restrictions of citizens' rights were introduced in 1937. Anti-Jewish decrees were signed in 1938. Describes consecutive steps in the antisemitic policy of the fascist regime up to the fall of Mussolini in July 1943, and later, between 1943-45, in the new political situation (the north occupied by the Nazis, the south - a new fascist state). Describes the deportations of Italian Jews. There were ca. 50,000 Jews in Italy before the war. 35,000 survived the war due to various forms of aid given them by non-Jews.
