On October 16, 1943, the Jews of Rome were targeted for arrest and
deportation. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome examines
why-and more importantly how-it could have been avoided, featuring
new evidence and insight into the Vatican's involvement. At the
time, Rome was within reach of the Allies, but the overwhelming
force of the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, and SS in Rome precluded direct
confrontation. Moral condemnations would not have worked, nor would
direct confrontation by the Italians, Jewish leadership, or even
the Vatican. Gallo underscores the necessity of determining what
courses of actions most likely would have spared Italian Jews from
the gas chambers. Examining the historical context and avoiding
normative or counterfactual assertions, this book draws upon
archival sources ranging from diaries to intelligence intercepts in
English, Italian, and German. With antisemitism on the rise today
and the last remaining witnesses passing away, it is essential to
understand what happened in 1943. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the
Jews of Rome grapples with this particular, awful episode within
the larger, horrifying story of the Holocaust. Despite the
inadequacy of memory, we must continue to attempt to make sense of
the inexplicable.
