The Italian Executioners
A gripping revisionist history that shows how ordinary Italians played a central role in the genocide of Italian Jews during the Second World War In this gripping revisionist history of Italy’s role in the Holocaust, Simon Levis Sullam presents an unforgettable account of how ordinary Italians actively participated in the deportation of Italy’s Jews between 1943 and 1945, when Mussolini’s collaborationist republic was under German occupation. While most historians have long described Italians as relatively protective of Jews during this time, The Italian Executioners tells a very different story, recounting in vivid detail the shocking events of a period in which Italians set in motion...
The Alps and Resistance (1943-1945)
What was the relationship between the Alps and the Resistance during the Italian Social Republic? This book explores the function of the Alps as a center of battles, violence, and opposition to fascism, as well as the cradle of political debate destined to forge modern Italian and European democracy.
Claretta
A master historian illuminates the tumultuous relationship of Il Duce and his young lover Claretta, whose extraordinarily intimate diaries only recently have become available Few deaths are as gruesome and infamous as those of Benito Mussolini, Italy’s fascist dictator, and Claretta (or Clara) Petacci, his much-younger lover. Shot dead by Italian partisans after attempting to flee the country in 1945, the couple’s bodies were then hanged upside down in Milan’s main square in ignominious public display. This provocative book is the first to mine Clara’s extensive diaries, family correspondence, and other sources to discover how the last in Mussolini’s long line of lovers became his intimate and how she came to her violent fate at his side. R. J. B. Bosworth explores the social climbing of Claretta’s family, her naïve and self-interested commitment to fascism, her diary’s graphically detailed accounts of sexual life with Mussolini, and much more. Brimful of new and arresting information, the book sheds intimate light not only on an ordinary-extraordinary woman living at the heart of Italy’s totalitarian fascist state but also on Mussolini himself.
Maledetti figli di Giuda, vi prenderemo!
The Italian province of Varese was a transit place for thousands of Jews trying to reach Switzerland. The Italian border police and the fascist Militia, following orders of the Nazi occupiers, initiated, in October 1943, several operations to intercept Jews attempting to escape across the border. Although they received aid from a small part of the Italian population, as well as from the Catholic Church, most of the Jews were captured and handed over to the Nazis.
