Book Synopsis

Using statistical evidence to document how the Italian social climate changed from relatively just to irredeemably prejudicial, this work begins with a history of Italian Jews in the decades before fascism.

Trade Review
This rich and compassionate study of the plight of Italy's Jews combines vivid narrative with scrupulous historical accuracy. - Booklist ""Michele Sarfatti has challenged and effectively demolished the myth that Italian fascism was simply aping Hitler's Germany in its creation of the racial laws against the Jews. He describes the independent genesis of Mussolini's racial policy and its distinct character."" - Alexander Stille, author of The Sack of Rome and Benevolence and Betrayal: Five Italian Jewish Families under Fascism ""Prodigiously documented and definitive."" - Publishers Weekly
