The province of Grosseto in southern Tuscany shows two extremes in
the treatment of Italian and foreign Jews during the Holocaust. To
the east of the province, the Jews of Pitigliano, a four
hundred-year-old community, were hidden for almost a year by
sympathetic farmers in barns and caves. None of those in hiding
were arrested and all survived the Fascist hunt for Jews. In the
west, near the provincial capital of Grosseto, almost a hundred
Italian and foreign Jews were imprisoned in 1943-1944 in the
bishop's seminary, which he had rented to the Fascists for that
purpose. About half of them, though they had thought that the
bishop would protect them, were deported with his knowledge by
Fascists and Nazis to Auschwitz. Thus, the Holocaust reached into
this provincial corner as it did into all parts of Italy still
under Italian Fascist control. This book is based on new interviews
and research in local and national archives.
