Brigate Giustizia e Libertá   Cerca

Definizione

After the armistice of September 1943, the Partito d'Azione (Action Party), a member of the CLN (Committee of National Liberation), sponsored a resistance group, the Brigate Giustizia e Libertá (the liberty and justice brigade). Many Jews joined the brigade as partisans, including survivor and author Primo Levi. The resistance group was named after the prewar Italian anti-fascist movement of the same name founded by Carlo Rosselli. Based on democratic ideals, Giustizia e Libertà had been the largest non-communist anti-Fascist organization. The movement ended after Carlo Rosselli and his brother, Nello, were murdered and the Action Party was established as its successor in 1943. (en-US)
