The
Judenrazzia (roundup of Jews) in Rome began at 5:30 a.m. on
Saturday, October 16, 1943. Jews in all parts of the city were
rounded up brutally and taken to a military school. Two days later,
at least 1,035 of the 1,060 Jews slated for deportation to Auschwitz
were sent away. Sections of the Italian population attempted to both
passively and actively resist the deportation of the Jews. |
