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 This cultural and social history draws on a wealth of unexplored sources, including original interviews and unpublished memoirs"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 The making of Italian Jewish patriots: emancipation, World War I, and Fascism -- A thriving Jewish life: Jewish culture in the Kingdom of Italy -- Five long years of Italian racism: anti-Jewish laws, 1938-1943 -- Hunting for Jews: the Italian and German manhunt in the Republic of Salò, 1943-1945 -- Imagining Italy: Italian Jewish refugees in the United States -- Fur coats in the Desert: Italian Jewish refugees in Palestine -- Recovery and revival: postwar Italian Jewry and the JDC -- The myth of the good Italian: making peace with postwar Italy. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Jews |zItaly |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Jews |zItaly |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Italy |xEthnic relations. 650 7 Ethnic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 Jews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983135 651 7 Italy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204565 650 7 Juden. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4028808-0 651 7 Italien. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4027833-5 650 4 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zItaly. 650 7 Juifs |zItalie |y19e siècle. |2ram 650 7 Juifs |zItalie |y20e siècle. |2ram 651 7 Italie |xRelations interethniques. |2ram 648 7 1800-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 852 0 |bstacks |hDS135.I8 |iK54 2018
