The Italian government granted $16 million for a national Holocaust museum. The move taken Wednesday would help build the museum in the northern city of Ferrara. The city was the setting for a novel and Oscar-winning film on Jewish life before and during World War II, “The Garden of the Finzi- Continis.” The museum is expected to be completed within five years.
