The brava gente myth conceals the role the Italian Fascist regime played in the Nazi’s Final Solution by producing the misconception that it committed itself to saving Jews from the sadistic horrors of their Nazi ally based solely on the inherent humanitarianism of Italians. This `good people’ myth has been commonly accepted worldwide due to excessive belief in national characteristics grounded in stereotypes reinforced in mass entertainment such as cinema. Therefore, the importance of this research resides in the necessity for more Italian scholarship concerning brava gente translated into English, so that those who do not speak Italian can reassess Italian Fascist history based off primary sources and not mass entertainment. This study attempts to explain that the Italian prevention of Jewish deportation was a direct result of Italian opportunism for political and economic advancement, as well as a direct response to Italo-German relations, rather than inherent character of morality. 2018-05-11 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1525620727434865 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1525620727434865 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
