Kurzfassung:
Considers repercussions of the Italian Racial Laws in the artistic field; although prohibitions or obligations were given in all cultural fields, this did not happen in art. After 1938, the reactions of Jewish artists were varied: some withdrew into their symbolic Jewish heritage, others threw themselves into painting all the time, some opted for voluntary exile, and some joined resistance movements. Antonietta Raphael (1895-1975) was interested in Jewish topics even before the war. She engaged in the fields of music, painting, and sculpture. During the war she went into hiding in Genoa and in Rome, where she continued to paint. Corrado Cagli (1910-1976) had no interest in Jewish topics before the war; after the promulgation of the Racial Laws he emigrated to Lausanne, then to Paris, and finally to the U.S. He joined the American army; in 1945 he was there at the liberation of Buchenwald. In 1948 he returned to Italy. Both of them created paintings related to the Holocaust after the war.
