Sur Frediano Sessi et les autres auteurs de livres de jeunesse sur le thème de la Shoah
The last few decades have seen the flourishing of children’s and young adult literature on the Holocaust and, more generally, on Fascism, the war and the deportations. These books vary widely in terms of their historical accuracy and the quality of their writing. Many novels are characterized by a clear imbalance between their highly accessible tone, ingenuous approach to history and the morals they champion and the level of knowledge that such a…
Persécutions, déportations et extermination dans la littérature de jeunesse
Traditionally, Italian children’s literature has rarely dealt with topics such as the Holocaust. This is partly due to the fact that Italian culture, schools and historical research took their time analyzing the relationship between Italian Fascism, the Social Republic after September 8, 1943, and the shared responsibility for Nazi Germany’s extermination policies, which were carried out through a war of destruction, camp segregation, ghettoes an…
Le cinéma italien et la Shoah
My article analyzes the Italian films and TV fiction about the Holocaust from the last 15 years. By defining the current storytelling topics, models and formats, I will attempt to demonstrate how representations of the Holocaust in visual culture have undergone a radical transformation since the introduction of Italy’s Remembrance Day in 2000. That serves as the basis for comparing works such as Concorrenza sleale (2001, Ettore Scola), Perlasca (…
Rome, la Grande Mère et la Shoah
Italian Holocaust literature took two main paths after the war. The first was the path of Se questo e un uomo (If This Is a Man). By now it is an overcrowded path that has ultimately obscured another : that of the Roman ghetto roundup and the literature written about it. Studying the role of October 16, 1943, in Italian literature means resuming a three-way conversation. Saba – Debenedetti, Saba – Morante, Debenedetti – Morante. Contrary to what …
Les saisons de la mémoire
This article aims to piece together the context in which a new awareness of the Holocaust arose in Italy. In doing so, it attempts to show that the generally accepted idea that the anti-Semitic persecution discourse was simply substituted for the anti-Fascist discourse is not a sufficient explanation for this phenomenon. In fact, it was in an effort to revive the foundering anti-Fascist discourse that important segments of the political and cultu…
Avec des yeux d’enfants… la persécution des enfants Juifs en Italie, 1938-1945
Aspects de l’antisémitisme en Italie
The persecution of Italian Jews and foreign Jewish residents in Italy began in November 1938 after the Fascist regime enacted anti-Semitic laws. Among the foreign Jewish residents were Greek Jews, many of whom came from the island of Corfu. They had moved to Trieste after anti-Semitic acts took place on the island during the 1891 Passover. These refugees had gone through a long, difficult integration, which was called into question by the 1938 la…
L’occupation nazie et le Polizeihaftlager di San Sabba à Trieste
The forces that carried out the persecution and deportation of Jews to other death camps in the Adriatisches Kustenland territories in northeastern Italy were part of the security apparatus that the Nazis had instituted there. In those territories, in contrast to the territories under the occupation system instituted in the rest of the country, the German occupying forces also assumed political and administrative control, thereby completely strip…
Les Juifs italiens entre le Risorgimento et le fascisme
The full emancipation of the Italian Jews in 1870 should serve as the starting point for any evaluation of this population’s history at the beginning of the 20th century and of its specific approach to modernity. This is because it is important to understand the close links between their participation in the national idea and their emancipation and between their political support and their construction of a specific, ancient religious path. This …
Les Juifs en Albanie sous l’occupation italienne
The historians who have studied the vicissitudes of European Judaism during the Holocaust have generally neglected the history of the Jews who were in Albania during World War II, a group that includes both Albanian Jews and Jewish refugees from other countries. One reason for this apparent oversight is the postwar ban imposed by the Communist dictatorship on access to the Albanian archives, which lasted until the mid-1990s. After describing the …
Jacques Stroumsa. Troubadour de la Mémoire
L’Italie et la Shoah
The history of the destruction of European Jewry is difficult to comprehend. Its legacy is hard to acknowledge, doubly so to teach. Seeing that it generates strong reactions, questions, even hostility, didactics stricto senso can no longer be applied and teaching the Holocaust enters a more moral zone. This, in turn, gives history teachers license to altogether avoid the potentially confrontational subject of the complex relationship that Christi…
