How did Italy treat Jews during World War II? Historians have shown
beyond doubt that many Italians were complicit in the Holocaust,
yet Italy is still known as the Axis state that helped Jews. Shira
Klein uncovers how Italian Jews, though victims of Italian
persecution, promoted the view that Fascist Italy was categorically
good to them. She shows how the Jews' experience in the decades
before World War II - during which they became fervent Italian
patriots while maintaining their distinctive Jewish culture - led
them later to bolster the myth of Italy's wartime innocence in the
Fascist racial campaign. Italy's Jews experienced a century of
dramatic changes, from emancipation in 1848, to the 1938 Racial
Laws, wartime refuge in America and Palestine, and the
rehabilitation of Holocaust survivors. This cultural and social
history draws on a wealth of unexplored sources, including original
interviews and unpublished memoirs.
