There was an Italian Holocaust which officially began when Mussolini read the anti-Jewish laws in 1938 which declared that no Jewish person was Italian (even if their families had lived in Italy for generations), couldn't marry a non-Jew, couldn't run businesses, etc. Jewish people were in a ghetto in Rome. I read a novel about this by Lisa Scottoline, "Eternal." When the Germans marched into Rome, they shot Italian soldiers, and then launched a terror campaign against the Jews. I learned from Scottoline's afterword and her website that many Jews were saved in Rome. I do want to read this book. Also, there is a book, "The Children's Train," which tells of former Resistance fighters who bring poor, starving children from the south of Italy, cities that were bombed, into the north to feed and educate them. It's fiction based on fact.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-35551820454855885182022-10-04T18:18:38.961-07:002022-10-04T18:18:38.961-07:00I also am not familiar with the Italian resistance...I also am not familiar with the Italian resistance during WWII (you won't be surprised that I'm much more familiar with the French).

And it sounds as though those women were strong, interesting people - people I didn't know anything about. I can definitely see how this would appeal to you.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
