Italian Priest Who Saved Jews in War Is Dead ROME (JTA) — Msgr. Vicenzo Barale, who helped save many Jews from the fascists and Nazis during World War II, -died Jan. 22 at age 75. He was remembered after the war by the Jews he saved and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Italian Jewish community in Milan on April 17, 1955. Although Msgr. Barale shied away from publicity it was known that he and Cardinal Fiissati saved many Jewish lives by offer- ing them secret shelter, producing false documents and helping them to escape when possible. On Aug. 2, 1944, Msgr. Barale was arrested by the Nazis who had heard of his activity. They sur- rounded the Bishop's palace in Turin, and con- ducted a room-to-room- search, looking for hid- den refugees. When they found none, they took Msgr. Barale with them and imprisoned him for several weeks. He was. freed through the intervention of the Ar- chbishop of Milan, Cardinal Schuster, but was then forced to remain in the town of Cesano Boscone under house arrest. Msgr. Barale was one of 23 other Catholics who received the Gold Medal of the Italian Jewislykommunity. Several Italian priests have also been awarded th highest possible recognition in Israel for selfless cour- age: trees in the memorial forest of "The Righteous of the Gentiles" at Yad Vas- hem. • Julius Schnoll, Holdup Victim Julius Schnoll, a Great Scott Super Market security guard, died Saturday from gunshot wounds received during a holdup of the Far- mington store.
