Description:
Legislation was passed in Italy via the Falco Laws, reversing freedom of religion. Benito Mussolini’s 1938 Manifesto of Italian Racism expelled Jews from all public services, the army and public schools. The lesson explores how courageous Italians defied the Fascist mandates at certain risk to their own lives and those of their loved ones, thus saving 40,000 Italian Jews.
