Michele Sarfatti
Michele Sarfatti (* 1952 in Florence ) is an Italian historian.
Life
Most of Sarfatti's works deal with the processing of the history of the Jews in Fascist Italy . Through his work he has helped to relativize the picture drawn by older research, especially by Renzo De Felice , that fascist Italy stood outside the “scorching cone of the Holocaust”. He proved, among other things, that Mussolini had made anti-Semitic statements long before the “ Berlin-Rome Axis ” was established in 1936 and the race laws of 1938.
Michele Sarfatti has been the head of the Centro di Documentazione Ebraica Contemporanea (CDEC) research center in Milan since 2002 . In addition to Roberto Della Rocca, Daniela Di Castro, Massimo Giuliani and Michele Luzzati, he is a member of the scientific advisory board of the Museo Nazionale dell'Ebraismo Italiano e della Shoah .
Together with his sister, the children's book author Anna Sarfatti , he wrote a story about a dog that experiences events of the Resistancea while searching for its "master" .
