| Summary: | The persecution of the Jews in Fascist Italy remains enigmatic. There had been nothing antisemitic in the founding principles of the movement, and there had been a significant number of Jewish fascists from the very beginning; support for the Fascists grew to roughly ten percent of the Jewish population. Though many of the most important anti-Fascists were Jews, Jews also held important positions in Fascist organizations, as well as in government service, from local to national government, from education to the military (including admirals and generals). |
