fascist racial laws exclude Jews from school, the military and public service, and forbid mixed marriages
The racial laws promulgated on November 17, 1938 exclude Jews from Italy from public schools as pupils and teachers, from the army, from the civil service, and from regulated professions, forbid marriages between Jews and "Aryans," and restrict land and commercial ownership. They follow the Manifesto of Race and overturn a regime that had long counted Jews among its cadres.
Italy possessed one of the oldest Jewish presences in Europe, largely integrated and very small in number. The laws shatter academic careers, force families into exile — Enrico Fermi leaves the country with his Jewish wife — and pave the way, after the German occupation of the Peninsula, for the roundups and deportations.
