When the locked doors of the Grand Council finally opened at 2:30 a. m., it was to disclose new and still more selective decrees in Italian Fascism's already highly selective policy of antiSemitism. There shall be no discrimination, decreed the Grand Council, against Italian Jews of the following seven categories...
...people in territories of the Empire."
