«La parola ebreo» is the autobiographical memoir by Rosetta Loy, published by Einaudi in paperback (156 pages, in Italian).
Rosetta Loy revisits her childhood memories to recall the quiet indifference with which a bourgeois Roman family, not aligned with fascism, allowed antisemitic persecution to advance under Mussolini. Games, snacks, vacations in Cortina and the villa in Monferrato form the backdrop to a childhood into which history bursts.
The book belongs to Einaudi's «Gli struzzi» collection (no. 487). It includes bibliographic references (pp. 149-152) and an index.
Reading for those seeking testimonies about fascist Italy, the memory of the Holocaust and the weight of everyday indifference.
Rosetta Loy was an Italian writer. She was the recipient of the Rapallo Carige Prize for Le strade di polvere in 1988.
