Description:
After experiencing fascism and occupation, did the Jewish community in Rome try to pick up where they had left off before the passing of the Italian racial laws? Or did the Shoah lead to a radical break with the past? This book shows that continuities outweighed breaks by looking at some of the central dimensions of Jewish identity: the attitudes toward Zionism, Israel, and the Italian nation; and the emerging culture of remembrance.
