“…40 Only two days earlier Lohse had dropped his opposition to the deportation of German Jews into "his" Reich Commissariat, acceding to the wishes of the Ministry for the East. 41 Nevertheless, the execution of the Jews transported from Berlin aroused quite a stir. 42 After this incident, German Jews arriving in Riga were no longer executed immediately.…”

“…Expropriation of Jewish property during and before the Second World War has been investigated extensively in connection with Nazi Germany (Safrian, 2000;James, 2001;Bopf, 2003;Dean, 2002Dean, , 2003Dean, , 2011 and in Nazi-occupied countries such as Holland (Van Renselaar, 2000;Van Tielhof, 2005), Belgium (Fraser, 2004), Hungary (Don, 1986), Norway (Cotler, 1998) and Czechoslovakia (Hochstein, 1996). In this process the Nazi bureaucracies responsible endeavored to use accounting to purify their expropriation and disposal of the vast amount of property taken from the Jews by using the identification and recording of property provided by accounting as a means to transform and "purify" what had been "defiled" when owned by the Jews into property which could be at the service of the Aryan German State (Funnell, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the significant role of accounting in the expropriation of Jewish real estate after the enforcement of race laws under Benito Mussolini’s Fascist regime in Italy. Design/methodology/approach Hannah Arendt’s understanding of government bureaucracy in the twentieth century totalitarian regimes informs the research which draws upon a wide range of primary sources. Findings Implementation of the program of expropriation was the responsibility of a government body, EGELI, which was created specifically for this purpose. The language of accounting provided the means to disguise the nature and brutality of the process and allow bureaucrats to be removed from the consequences of their actions. Accounting reports from EGELI to the Ministry of Finance confirmed each year that those who worked in EGELI were devoted to its mission as an agency of the Fascist State. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study recognize the need for further research on the role played by servicemen, bureaucrats and accounting as a technology of government in the deportation of Italian Jews to Germany. The study also provides impetus to examine how other countries managed the properties confiscated or expropriated from the Jews in the earlier stages of the Final Solution. Originality/value The study is the first to identify the significant role played by accounting and accountants in the persecution of Italian Jews under the Fascism.
