Historian Michele Sarfatti presents the book by

PAOLA TREVISAN

The Persecution of Roma and Sinti

in Fascist Italy

(Viella, Rome, 2024)

Based on extensive archival documentation compared with testimonies and historical-ethnographic research, the book reconstructs for the first time a long-forgotten history, which Sarfatti compares with the anti-Jewish persecution.

Event organised by the ‘Carlo and Vera Wagner’ Jewish Community Museum in collaboration with the Risiera di San Sabba Museum.
