Anti-Jewish Laws in Italy

The Legislation making it harder for Italian Jews passed the legislature in Italy. The Fascist Government passed several laws resembling the Germany's Nuremberg laws today.

Despite Fascist laws in Italy, there has not been a systemic Anti-Semitic rhetoric in Mussolini's government. This past autumn, Italy has made several changes to its Jewish policies. These laws ban miscegenation between Jews and "Aryans," and placed Jews, defined by racial criteria much as in the Nazi legislation, under further restrictions. Alien Jews have also been expelled from the nation and teachers and students pulled from schools.

More changes for Jews

The Nazi Party has recently changed conditions for Jews living in Greater Germany. On April 22nd, "Front-Ownership" was banned. This prevents Aryans from owning Jewish businesses for Jews. This is one of the first decrees that affects non-Jews and prohibits them from assisting Jews.

In addition, yesterday it was decreed that Jews are now being required to register their property and wealth with the Government.
