Abstract

"Italian Jews Under Fascism, 1938–1945: A Personal and Historical Narrative is both a family and a political history. This painstakingly researched book recounts the travails of Italy’s Jewish community during the period of Fascist persecution that began in 1938 and increased dramatically after the German takeover in 1943. With superb documentation, from a wealth of original sources, Tedeschi tells a compelling and often heartbreaking story of individuals who were caught in the sweeping tide of Fascism, placing them in the context of the traumatic events that were playing out on the world stage."
