‎"L'ouvrage de Susan Zuccotti, The Italians and the Holocaust, est une tentative courageuse d'analyser le problème de la réponse de l'Italie - et plus particulièrement des Italiens - à l'antisémitisme fasciste et nazi et au génocide des Juifs d'Europe par les nazis. Zuccotti nous donne d'abord un aperçu général des dimensions du génocide des Juifs italiens et une brève histoire des Juifs en Italie depuis l'Antiquité. Elle poursuit son récit par un compte rendu chronologique de l'introduction des mesures antisémites en Italie et dans les territoires occupés par l'Italie, d'abord par les Italiens eux-mêmes, puis, après septembre 1943, en collaboration avec les forces d'occupation allemandes. Zuccotti conclut son histoire en expliquant comment les Juifs, avec l'aide de chrétiens italiens, ont réussi à survivre en Italie, leurs tentatives réussies et avortées de s'enfuir en Suisse, et l'activité antifasciste des Juifs. Il faut remercier Zuccotti d'avoir entrepris ce travail ; l'histoire du génocide des Juifs italiens est complexe et confuse. Son livret contient des passages clairs, lucides et pleins de compassion. Zuccotti éprouve de la sympathie pour les personnes sur lesquelles elle écrit, et elle soulève des questions essentielles..." (The Journal of Modern History, 1990) ‎
