Sacco and Vanzetti (Nicola, 1891–1927) (Bartolomeo, 1888–1927) Italian immigrants tried and executed for murder in witch-hunt for anarchists. [Am. Hist.: Sacco-Vanzetti Case: A Transcript] See : Controversy Sacco and Vanzetti accused and executed for murder (1927); their guilt has been largely disputed. [Am. Hist.: Allen, 59–61] See : Injustice Sacco and Vanzetti (Nicola, 1891–1927) (Bartolomeo, 1888–1927) perhaps executed more for radicalism than murder (August 22, 1927). [Am.

Even before the seven years that Sacco and Vanzetti spent incarcerated, prior to their execution on August 23, 1927, many Italian anarchists had been jailed, harassed, and deported in the US government's attempt to thwart radical political dissension and the growth of the working-class labor movement of which Tresca was continuously supportive (Pernicone 528). Sirk's problems with the Nazis became serious in 1930, when he put on a Sacco and Vanzetti drama by Bernhard Blume, In the Name of the People, which was banned in Nazi-dominated parts of Germany. Yet through the ordeal and the trial both Sacco and Vanzetti understood that poor and working-class Italians were unpopular: Suffice it to say the evidence of anti-foreign and anti-Italian attitudes is overwhelming. |
