Sgr. Berzanti has circulated his draft among deputies of all parties.

Certificates attesting to the assistance given Italian Jews during the Nazi-fascist regime were presented to a number of non-Jews at a ceremony held in Verona by the Association of Deportees. Herman Friendentahl, Chief Rabbi of Milan, expressed the gratitude of Italian Jewry to those who had risked their lives in behalf of Jews.
