Italian Jews have begun a letter and fax campaign to force the city of Bari to change the name of a street honoring a key promoter of fascist-era anti- Semitism. Nicola Pende was an eminent pathologist who headed a list of scientists in signing a 1938 “manifesto of racist scientists” that “proved” Italians to be “Aryans” and paved the way for harsh anti-Semitic laws issued later that year.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
