ZIMMERMAN, JOSHUA D. (ed.) - The Jews in Italy under Fascist and Nazi Rule, 1922-1945. ISBN 9780521841016Cambridge, University Press, 2005. 374 pp. Illustr. Very good copy. Orig. cloth with dustjacket. This book brings to light the Italian-Jewish experience from the start of Mussolini's prime ministership through the end of the Second World War. Challenging the myth of Italian benevolence during the Fascist period, the authors investigate the treatment of Jews by Italians during the Holocaust, and the native versus foreign roots of Italian Fascist anti-Semitism. Each essay in this volume illustrates a different aspect of Italian Jewry under Fascist and Nazi rule. Areas of inquiry include the role of the Catholic Church with special reference to Pope Pius XII, Mussolini's attitude and anti-Jewish policies leading to the onset of the 1938 Italian racial laws, and the Italian popular reactions to anti-Jewish persecution.
