| Résumé: | The history of the Jews during fascism in Italian middle and high school textbooksThe article analyzes research conducted in 2013 on a sampling of 24 middle and high school history textbooks in an effort to document the ways in which they covered the Holocaust process in Italy. There were three fundamental steps to this process: the passage of the 1938 anti-Jewish laws, the November 1943 Republic of Salò manifesto and police order, which declared that Jews were foreigners who must be arrested immediately, and the extermination of 7,000 other Italian Jews between 1943 and 1945. On these points, we have noted imprecisions and actual omissions, not to mention the use of frequently hesitant terms and an impoverished iconography that generally fails to clearly communicate the gravity of the facts. The gaps in these books serve to scale down Italy’s responsibility for the Holocaust, oftentimes assigning all of the blame to Nazi Germany. |
