Abstract:
In Piemonte the Racial Laws of 1938 were enforced in a social atmosphere of diffuse hostility toward the Jews. This hostility explains the zeal of Italian officials in dealing with Jewish issues, the indifference of the public, and the collaboration and opportunism of many during the Republic of Salo. The Catholic Church did not oppose this trend, and consequently did not challenge the fascist segregation laws. During the German occupation of Piemonte in 1943, in the face of the extermination policy of the Nazis, the Church finally reacted, mobilizing its resources on behalf of the Jews.
