At the time, Rome was within reach of the Allies, but the overwhelming force of the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, and SS in Rome precluded direct confrontation. Moral condemnations would not have worked, nor would direct confrontation by the Italians, Jewish leadership, or even the Vatican. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGallo underscores the necessity of determining what courses of actions most likely would have spared Italian Jews from the gas chambers. Examining the historical context and avoiding normative or counterfactual assertions, this book draws upon archival sources ranging from diaries to intelligence intercepts in English, Italian, and German. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith antisemitism on the rise today and the last remaining witnesses passing away, it is essential to understand what happened in 1943. \u003ci\u003eThe Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome\u003c\/i\u003e grapples with this particular, awful episode within the larger, horrifying story of the Holocaust.
