Racial Laws
Were A Mistake
Rome (JTA) — Alessandra
Mussolini, granddaughter of
Italy's wartime fascist dic-
tator Benito Mussolini, has
said that the anti-Semitic
racial laws decreed by her
grandfather in 1938 were a
mistake.
In interviews published in
several Italian publications,
she dissociated fascists from
the current wave of neo-Nazi
skinheads.
"The racial laws are unac-
ceptable," Ms. Mussolini, a
member of Parliament for
the neo-fascist MSI party,
was quoted as saying in an
interview with the La Stam-
pa newspaper.
"The racial laws were in-
troduced by 'German' fas-
cism, under the influence of
Hitler. The true, Mussolini-
style fascist is not racist and
condemns those who want to
represent fascists as
racists," she said.
She said her grandfather
erred in "allying himself
with Hitler, in an interna-
tional political situation in
which he ended up with his
hands tied, without a way of
escape."
She said that during World
War II, "what happened in
Germany did not happen in
Italy. Many Jews were sav-
ed.
"I repeat, those (racial)
laws were an error, but
taking stock of the entire 20
years (of Mussolini's rule),
my judgment of fascism is
positive," she said.
She said the violent,
swastika-waving skinheads
trouble her and are not true
fascists. The MIS party, she
said, rejects their actions.
"If I see the fascio (a bun-
dle of wood symbolizing uni-
ty) used as a symbol, I am
happy. When I see the
swastika, I am not," she
said.
"These symbols do not
form part of our culture;
they belong to other
ideologies. The black shirt
and the raised-arm salute
don't scare me. They are a
way of communicating,
above all by our young peo-
ple. They are symbols that
form part of our culture,"
she said.
When skinheads shout
"Duce, Duce," she said, "I
am offended. My grand-
father is not what they think
he was. He was not racist."
She told the newspaper La
Repubblica, "I have Nazi
documents that criticized my
grandfather because he did
not execute orders for depor-
tation (of Jews)."
