In 1938, the racial laws of Fascist Italy were promulgated. Jews with Italian citizenship were subject to discrimination, and foreign Jews were to be interned in camps. When Italy capitulated to the Allies in September 1943, the Germans occupied all Italian territories. The Jews of Fiume were mostly deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp in occupied Poland.
