From our Publications – Beyond the Things Themselves: Economic Aspects of the Italian Race Laws
Ilaria Pavan
One of the unique aspects of the fascist antisemitic campaign in Italy that influenced the scope and harshness of the actions against the Jews is its length; it went on for seven years. In this important study, Ilaria Pavan carefully analyzes the economic aspects of Jewish persecution and the community’s struggle before, during, and after World War II. She exposes the persecutory intentions and mechanisms of the Italian regime and discusses the long series of provisions, decrees, and laws that severely afflicted the Jewish community. Based on many sources—government documentation, letters, and survivors’ memoirs—Pavan depicts in detail both the persecution and the reintegration stages, and devotes ample space to the voices of the victims.
