    Covering Fascist Italy: American Correspondents and Regime Censorship

    (October 17, 2012)
    What did Americans know about Mussolini in his time? Who were the correspondents who covered Fascist Italy for the American press? What were their sources? Under which restrictions did they work? Did Italian American organizations play a role in supporting and/or opposing the censorship machine? What did American Jews know about Italian anti-Semitic policies and to what extent were their views shaped by state censorship and Italian diplomatic actions? David Kertzer will discuss Mauro Canaliʼs research on the files of the Fascist censorship commission that oversaw the activities of US correspondents in Italy from the 1920s to the end of World War II. The discussion will cover Professor Canali's investigation into Mussoliniʼs efforts to create an official image of his regime for America and its impact on American politics. Presented by the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Centro Primo Levi Simon Wiesenthal Center, Museum of Tolerance
