Find her arguments compelling...Only thing i question is if the Italian antisemitism policy was intentionalist...From my reading of Italian fascism it did not have the same ideological foundation as nazism and the same paramilitary apparatus (i.e SS), in its very foundation, to execute it.

This is a fascinating topic. And Dr. Nidam-Orvieto clearly knows her subject well. Unfortunately, the audio quality is distractingly poor.

What was it like in Jewish Italians in the years before 1922 before Musolini came to power?

I can not tell you how much this means to me, but it is personal because of family members. Now I understand why they were catholic, and why they left Germany, and how Italy used the church to control. Sadly, leaving Germany was their forced escape, for the best since today, 10/2012, Germany's Nazi citizens are rearing their heads and the German gov. has began to do crazy things concerning circumcision. I pray for those of us who are learning as much as possible as quickly as possible for truth.
