When Nazi Germany and fascist Italy were united, both had savage
racial laws; Hitler and Mussolini viciously denounced the "Jewish
manace". In the Second World War Jews who fell into the hands of
the German army were consigned almost without exception for the
death camps, not one Jew who came under the control of the Italian
army ended there. The Italian officers protected not just Italian
Jews, but Jewish refugees of every nationality. To the Germans,
their actions were inexplicable and subversive. Yet the protectors
of the Jews were no philo-Semites, nor were they great respecters
of human life. Some of those same officers had sanctioned savage
atrocities against Ethiopians and Arabs in the years before the
war. They saved the Jews because it was unworthy and immoral to
send them to death camps; to sustain morality they risked their
careers, and sometimes, their lives. Only a handful of German
officers protested; none of them took the same active steps as the
Italians. Jonathan Steinberg unravels the motives and forces
underpinning Nazism and fascism and offers an insight into the
ambivalence inherent within their relationship.
