In the second part of the episode on the Shoah in Venice, Petra Reski and Christopher Weingart follow the Bassi's and Calimani's through the time from 1943 to 1945. Nazi forces have occupied Italy, what will now happen to Italy's Jewish population?

Roberto Bassi and his family have fled to Rome, but in the very moment they arrive, their relatives are being deported to Auschwitz. Dario Calimani's parents have made for Switzerland, but his grandparents remained in Venice. And then comes the 5th Dezember 1943.

The 5th December 1943 is one of the darkest days in Venice's long history. On that day the first raid of the Jewish Ghetto takes place. More than a hundren Jews are deported, most of them die in Auschwitz.

In this episode Petra Reski and Christopher Weingart tell the stories of two Jewish families from Venice throughout Italian fascism and the Nazi occupation. For this they have met with Prof. Dario Calimani, chairman of the Jewish Community of Venice, and Prof. Shaul Bassi, son of Roberto Bassi, who wrote the book "Skirmishes on Lake Ladoga" on his experiences throughout that time. This episode will explore the myth of "Italiani Brava Gente" and follow the Bassis whilst they are navigating from 1938, when fascist Italy establishes the racial laws, to 1943, when the Germans occupy the northern half of the country, including Venice. How will the Jews of Venice react to that? Stay, go into hiding or flee?

Ein millionenschwerer Unternehmer, der zu reich sei, um Korruption nötig zu haben. Ein politischer Quereinsteiger, laut eigener Aussage weder links noch rechts, der Pride Paraden und Bücher verbieten will. Ein Selbstdarsteller, der bizarre öffentliche Auftritte hinlegt und seinen Sportverein mit Geld vollpumpt. Nein, in dieser Folge geht es nicht um Silvio Berlusconi, sondern um Luigi Brugnaro - seit 2015 Bürgermeister von Venedig.

Was hat sein Amtsantritt in der Stadt verändert? Wer wählt ihn? Und begnügt er sich mit den eigentlich maximal zulässigen zwei Amtszeiten? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge.

Venedig gibt es jetzt auch zum Hören. Petra Reski und Christopher Weingart nehmen Sie mit nach Venedig und Mestre, zum Lido, Giudecca und all den anderen Inseln der Lagune. Dabei blicken sie auch über den venezianischen Tellerrand hinaus nach Italien. Möchten Sie den Podcast unterstützen?
