Скачать или смотреть The True WW2 Story of Don Primo Mazzolari — The Priest Who Outwitted Mussolini’s Police

During World War II, a small-town Italian priest defied Fascism, outwitted Mussolini’s secret police, and helped Jews and refugees escape Nazi deportation.

In Fascist Italy, when silence was safer than truth, Don Primo Mazzolari chose resistance. Long before the Nazis occupied northern Italy, he publicly condemned Mussolini’s regime, rejected racial laws, and preached against nationalism from his pulpit — placing himself under constant surveillance.

After 1943, as German forces and the SS began hunting Jews across northern Italy, Mazzolari transformed his rectory into a clandestine escape hub. Working with farmers, priests, and resistance guides, he helped Jews, deserters, and political fugitives slip through Fascist checkpoints and toward safety in Switzerland — often in broad daylight, under the eyes of the regime.

This true WW2 story reveals how one village priest survived assassination attempts, interrogation by German authorities, and years of internal exile — not by force, but by courage, faith, and moral clarity. It is a powerful account of Catholic resistance, Christian conscience under dictatorship, and the hidden heroes who chose action over silence when evil ruled Europe.
