Discusses how the Italians treated their Jewish population during the Fascist period. Loy offers the perspective of a young girl from an affluent Catholic family between 1936-43. She contrasts her warm memories of schooldays, playmates and family with the increasingly restrictive laws against Jews, the menacing Italian Blackshirts and the failure of the Vatican to take a firm position against Jewish persecution
