While the (Italian) Fascists were in power in Italy, the country did not allow Jews to be rounded up or sent to death camps. However, when Italy surrendered (and changed sides) the Nazis established a puppet state in Nothern Italy. Mussolini was kidnapped and made the nominal head of this government, but it was under German control from mid 1943 onwards - and sent Jews to Auschwitz.
