Marina Cau, Giusep­ pina Incalza, Manuela Bagnetti, Cristiana Cervelloni, Marco Morini, Alessia Guglielmi, Sara Antonelli, Lucia Antonelli, Ulrike Viccaro, Romina Cometti, Giuliano Di Cerbo, and Sara Manafra either donated their time and labor to help me transcribe tapes, or accepted substandard payment for it. The Associa­ tion of the Families of the Martyrs ofltaly's Liberation (ANFIM), the Rome In­ stitute for Italian History from Fascism to the Resistance (IRSIFAR), and the Rome Center for Jewish Culture all helped me without interference. Many oth­ ers (Emma Fiorentino Alatri, Luciano Chiolli, Piero De Gennaro, Massimo Taborri, and the Montesacro Culture Club) helped me find contacts and arrange interviews; Flavio Govoni granted permission to quote from the poems of his grandfather Corrado Govoni. I also wish to mention persons from the other side (Dr. Giachini, Erich Priebke's lawyer; and the leader of Alleanza Nazionale, Gianfranco Fini), who if nothing more trusted my intellectual hon­ esty. Deborah Gershenowitz and Linda Shopes carefully edited my manuscript and suggested necessary changes and improvements; Bruce Jackson was gener­ ous with suggestions and ideas. The final form of the manuscript owes much to them all. Years of friendship and conversations with Ronald Grele and Luisa Passerini contributed greatly to my approach. Mary Marshall Clark, director of the Columbia Oral History Office, made it all possible in more than one way. For editorial reasons, this text is significantly shorter than the original Italian version. I refer readers who are interested in Rome's modern history and Italian politics and culture (and in much more detailed background and bibliographic references) to that text or to the Spanish translation to be published by Fundo de Cultura Economica in Buenos Aires in 2003. I am proud that none of this work was sponsored or supported in any way by any institution or business. It is a sign that some things can be done if we really want them to be.

In fact, when I first heard of Holocaust deniers, I laughed and dismissed them as not worthy of serious analysis. Then I looked more closely and I changed my mind.

  • Daniel Stahl. Nazi-Jagd: Südamerikas Diktaturen Und Die Ahndung Von NS-Verbrechen
    Daniel Stahl. Nazi-Jagd: Südamerikas Diktaturen und die Ahndung von NS-Verbrechen. Göttingen: Wallstein-Verlag. 2013. Reviewed by: Christiane Grieb, UCL Stahl’s Nazi-Jagd (Nazi Hunt) investigates the responses of South American governments to international requests for cooperation in the search for Nazi war criminals from 1945 through 2011. The Allied war crimes trial programs in Europe were largely limited to the trial of those Nazis identified and arrested in Allied detention centres in Europe. About many of the most atrocious war crimes and its perpetrators though, the public learned of only years or even decades later, and owed only to the locating or capture of Nazis like Mengele, Eichmann, Priebke or Barbie in South American countries. Previous research on escaped Nazi war criminals often focused on: the clandestine organisation of networks (ODESSA) that helped war criminals to thwart prosecution, provided fastidiously reconstructed operations of ‘ratlines’ out of Allied occupied Europe and into the safe havens of South America. Other more recent biographical studies crafted accounts of the social-nationalist careers and personal lives of war criminals in hiding. The German-based historian Daniel Stahl now complements these insights with his studies of judicial attempts to locate and to bring to justice those Nazi war criminals who had escaped to South America. Most capturing are his accounts of the resistance and diplomatic jiggery-pokery that West German prosecutors faced in South America. For decades, the majority of these efforts were foiled and Nazi war criminals could live unmolested in South America. Stahl did not just offer narratives of events, but in fact sought to establish an historical account of the achievements and failures to identify and repatriate Nazi war criminals for trial for a period of 50 years.

  • Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context
    Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context Andrew Sangster Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of East Anglia History School August 2014 Word Count: 99,919 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or abstract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the life and context of Kesselring the last living German Field Marshal. It examines his background, military experience during the Great War, his involvement in the Freikorps, in order to understand what moulded his attitudes. Kesselring's role in the clandestine re-organisation of the German war machine is studied; his role in the development of the Blitzkrieg; the growth of the Luftwaffe is looked at along with his command of Air Fleets from Poland to Barbarossa. His appointment to Southern Command is explored indicating his limited authority. His command in North Africa and Italy is examined to ascertain whether he deserved the accolade of being one of the finest defence generals of the war; the thesis suggests that the Allies found this an expedient description of him which in turn masked their own inadequacies. During the final months on the Western Front, the thesis asks why he fought so ruthlessly to the bitter end. His imprisonment and trial are examined from the legal and historical/political point of view, and the contentions which arose regarding his early release.

  • Note Biografiche
    NOTE BIOGRAFICHE PADRE ALDO BRUNACCI Aldo Brunacci nacque ad Assisi il 2 aprile 1914. Aldo era un giovane sacerdote durante la guerra, divenuto poi canonico della cattedrale di San Ruffino di Assisi. Aveva studiato a Roma, nell’ambiente delle organizzazioni giovanili cattoliche, dove l’atteggiamento nei confronti del regime fascista era talvolta molto critico. Tornato nella sua Assisi, assistette ai pestaggi degli oppositori al fascismo, alle violenze e agli arbitri, anche nei confronti dei giovani cattolici, di cui si occupava assiduamente. Nel settembre del 1943, Assisi si riempì di ebrei in fuga che ricevettero aiuto dai frati e dal vescovo di Assisi, monsignor Giuseppe Placido Nicolini. Vestiti da frati e da suore, nascosti nei sotterranei e nelle cantine, mimetizzati tra gli sfollati con documenti falsi, più di 200 ebrei trovarono asilo nell’antica cittadina di San Francesco. Padre Aldo Brunacci, collaborando col vescovo, si trovò a gestire questa massa di gente: nutrirla, proteggerla, procurare documenti falsi, affrontare i nazisti e i fascisti, spostare quelli più a rischio, curare gli ammalati, occuparsi dei bambini, ecc. Padre Brunacci fu arrestato nel 1944. Grazie all’intervento del Vaticano poté essere rilasciato, dopo un periodo di detenzione. Il vescovo, per proteggerlo, lo spedì alla Segreteria di Stato Vaticana. Padre Brunacci è stato riconosciuto nel 1977 come Giusto fra le Nazioni dallo Stato di Israele. Il presidente Carlo Azeglio Ciampi lo ha insignito, del titolo di Cavaliere di Gran Croce al merito della Repubblica Italiana, per essersi prodigato per la salvezza degli Ebrei. Aldo Brunacci è deceduto il 1 febbraio 2007. VITTORIO FOA Vittorio Foa nacque a Torino il 18 settembre 1910 da una famiglia ebraica piemontese.

  • Biografia Di Piero Terracina.Pdf
    Biografia di Piero Terracina Piero Terracina, nasce a Roma in una famiglia ebraica, ultimo dei quattro figli di Giovanni Terracina e Lidia Ascoli. Nell'autunno del 1938 gli viene vietata la prosecuzione della scuola pubblica dalla promulgazione delle Leggi razziali fasciste in Italia. Nonostante il divieto il padre, un professionista, lo manda ugualmente a scuola, dove la maestra gli disse di restare fuori, perché ebreo, tra l'indifferenza dei suoi compagni. Piero proseguì gli studi nelle scuole ebraiche fino a che, dopo essere sfuggito all'arresto durante il rastrellamento del ghetto di Roma del 16 ottobre 1943, venne arrestato a Roma il 7 aprile 1944 su segnalazione di un delatore con tutta la famiglia: i genitori, la sorella Anna, i fratelli Cesare e Leo, lo zio Amedeo, il nonno Leone David. Detenuti alle carceri di Roma, dopo un breve soggiorno nel campo di Fossoli, nella notte del 17 maggio del '44 comincia il viaggio di deportazione in un treno di prigionieri italiani di origine ebraica. Degli 8 componenti della sua famiglia, Piero Terracina sarà l'unico a fare ritorno in Italia. Il dramma si consuma il giorno stesso dell'arrivo a Auschwitz. Immatricolato con il n. A-5506, per Terracina comincia la quotidiana lotta per la sopravvivenza nell’inferno di Auschwitz. “Ad Auschwitz il prigioniero non aveva nome, gli internati non erano contati come persone ma come pezzi. Ai prigionieri veniva tolta ogni dignità. Di quelli usciti dal campo vivi, pochissimi sono riusciti a sopravvivere, e a tornare ad essere persone degne di essere chiamate tali.” Nel campo Terracina strinse amicizia con un altro giovane deportato italiano, Sami Modiano, di soli due anni più piccolo di lui, proveniente da Rodi.

  • A Loyola Rome Student's Guide to World War Ii in Rome
    A LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY By Philip R. O’Connor, Ph.D. Loyola University Rome Center 1968-69 DOWNLOADABLE VERSION AVAILABLE PLEASE DIRECT COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS TO [email protected] Tenth Edition – September 2015 LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY DEDICATION & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Guide to World War II in Italy and Rome is dedicated to those who served the Allied cause in the Italian War of Liberation 1943-45. Of special remembrance are the five Loyolans who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion” on Italian soil: John J. Burke, John L. Carmody, Kenneth E. Krucks, Thomas A. McKitrick and Dean P. Reinert. John Felice, founder and guiding light of the Loyola Rome Center for thirty years and whose name was given to the Campus in 2004, was an intelligence officer in the British Eighth Army seconded to the American 12 th Air Force, 47 th Bombardment Group (Light) in preparation for the invasions of Sicily and the Italian mainland. John, who first inspired this Guide, passed away in January 2008, having lived the life of a great man. Another who served was the author’s uncle, Edward O’Connor. He followed his older brother, the author’s father, Philip J., into the U.S. Navy. Philip served in the South Pacific while Ed crewed in a 5-inch gun aboard the light cruiser USS Philadelphia . Before his nineteenth birthday, Eddie O’Connor participated in the invasion of Sicily, the landing at Salerno, the sbarco at Anzio-Nettuno followed by four months of daily missions from Naples to shell German forces besieging the beachhead, and the invasion of Southern France.
