The fake disease created to save Italian Jews in World War II

During World War II, Italian Jews were saved from deportation through the creation of a fake disease. The disease, which was falsely described as contagious, prevented them from being sent to concentration camps.

This clever ruse was organized by Italian doctors and authorities who sympathized with the Jewish population, demonstrating a rare act of defiance against Nazi orders. The fake disease allowed Jewish families to remain in their homes, avoiding the horrors of the Holocaust.

The survival story of those who were saved by this tactic has only recently been brought to light. It highlights the bravery and resourcefulness of those who sought to protect lives in the face of immense danger.
