Documentation proving the deportation of 8.105 Jews from Italy during the Nazi-Fascist persecutions has been turned over to the International Tracing Service at Arolsen, Germany, by the Union of Italian Jewish Communities. The documents will facilitate the issuance of various documents required by claimants under West German compensation legislation.
The documents, transferred by Col. Adolfo Vitale, head of the Union’s committee searching for deported Jews, includes information on a limited number of non-Jews and Jews of other than Italian nationality who were also deported. The major portion of the list, however, deals with Italian Jews.
