THE CASE OF ANGELO DONATI

Refugees, Rescue Efforts and International Politics 

Luca Fenoglio (University of Leicester), is the author of Angelo Donati e la "questione ebraica" nella Francia occupata dall'esercito italiano (2013). In this presentation he will analyze the rescue efforts orchestrated by Angelo Donati, a prominent Jewish lawyer from Modena who tried to find exit pathways for Jewish refugees caught in the Italian-occupied zone of France. His plans were ultimately hindered by conflicting agendas and lack of political interest in the fate of refugees.
