Abstract
Drawing on a representative sample of the Italian Jewish press, this study explores a wide range of contemporaneous reactions to the Italian Fascist regime’s antisemitic turn of 1938. It demonstrates not only the practical difficulties presented to Italian Jews of all persuasions, who had been collectively reduced to the status of non-citizens, but also the questions that were raised over their Italian and Jewish identities, and the relationship between the two. While for some, the solution lay in returning to and embracing their Jewishness, such a path remained troublesome for many within what had become a well integrated and heterogeneous community.
