Abstract
The doctoral thesis analyzes the affair of the concentration camps for Jews opened up by the decree
n. 5 of 30 November 1943 from the minister of the Interior of the Italian Social Republic, Guido
Buffarini Guidi. By this measure the republican government entrusted the peripheral authorities of
the ministry of the Interior, prefectures and police headquarters, the task of arresting and interning
all the Jews present in Italy. The carrying out of the orders was influenced by the war background
of two-year-period 1943-1945: by the German occupation of Italy, which followed the armistice of
8 September, the German authorities kept the RSI under a tight control. Notwithstanding the
German interference into the Italian political affairs, the local authorities of Salò seemed to hold on
a degree of autonomy and initiative to enforce the anti-Jewish measures decided by the
government. In this situation, the concentration camps played a key role and act here below as a
magnifier for the study of the “Jewish-question” in the RSI. Through the analysis of these camps
the features of the state anti-Semitism of Salò can be recognized, as an extension of that one of the
previous fascist regime, as well as the political dynamics that were at the bottom of the
“collaboration” between Italian and German authorities can be deepened. As Denis Pechanski
notices about the French case, the concentration camps are in this way “the cornerstone of the
mechanism of deportation of the Jews”.
