Refuge and Persecution in Italy, 1933-1945

by Mary Felstiner
Translated by Martha Humphreys and Sybil Milton.

Emigration to Italy from Germany and from the countries occupied and annexed by Nazi Germany has remained a largely neglected and unfamiliar topic.1 Research in the two Germanies has ignored it as well as the more specific subject of Jewish emigration to Italy. Even at the time, 1933-1945, exile in Italy could not be publicized and thus to a large extent went unnoticed. Moreover, the problem of sources is more difficult for Italy than for other countries of asylum. There is also an a priori incredulity that persons persecuted bygd the Nazis found refuge in fascist Italy, a country that established close relations with the Nazis after a brief phase of rivalry and tension. To understand the prerequisites for emigration to Italy requires more precise knowledge about the specific differences between National Socialism and Italian fascism.2

Profezia di Hitler

La profezia di Hitler indica un passaggio di un discorso al Reichstag del 30 gennaio 1939, in cui Adolf Hitler minacciò "l'annientamento della razza ebraica in Europa" in caso di guerra. Il testo, recitava:

«Se gli ebrei della finanza internazionale dentro e fuori l'Europa riuscissero a far precipitare ancora una volta le nazioni in una guerra mondiale, il risultato non sarebbe la bolscevizzazione della terra e quindi la vittoria degli ebrei, ma l'annientamento della razza ebraica in Europa.»

Le parole erano simili ai commenti che Hitler aveva rivolto in precedenza a politici stranieri durante gli incontri privati successivi ai discordi avvenuti durante la "notte dei cristalli" nel novembre 1938. Il discorso fu pronunciato nel contesto dei tentativi nazisti di incrementare l'emigrazione ebraica dalla Germania, prima dello scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale nel settembre 1939.

Michele Sarfatti, The Jews in Mussolini’s Italy – From Equality to Persecution, The University of Wisconsin, 2007

Often overshadowed by the persecution of Jews in Germany, the treatment of Jews in fascist Italy comes into sharp focus in this volume by Italian historian Michele Sarfatti. Using thorough and careful statistical evidence to document how the Italian social climate changed from relatively just to irredeemably prejudicial, Sarfatti begins with a history of Italian Jews in the decades before fascism–when Jews were fully integrated into Italian national life–and provides a deft and comprehensive history from fascism’s rise in 1922 to its defeat in 1945.

“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
