Memory register · custodian, not owner

Turin, capital of Piedmont, was home to an ancient Italian Jewish community (Italkim), long confined to the ghetto under the Ancien Régime. The Jews of the Kingdom of Sardinia were emancipated in 1848 by the Statuto Albertino, and those of Turin participated actively in the Risorgimento and the construction of unified Italy, some attaining prominent positions in the army, the administration, and public life. The city acquired a grand synagogue, the Mole originally conceived as testimony to its ambition. Under Fascism, the racial laws and then the German occupation struck the community, which reconstituted itself after the war and remains active.
