Abstract
This article demonstrates how the emergence of a new non-scholarly literature about the Jewish Brigade Group produced contrasting interpretations, in Italy, of the role both the Jews and Arabs of Palestine played during WWII. This led to a political quarrel, which eventually resulted in a disconcerting split within the Italian anti-fascist front. The article aims to contribute to a resolution of this crisis by reaffirming the role of professional historians in the struggle against the public and political use of history, which characterises the dispute. It does so by resorting to the primary tool of the historian: archival documents.
