Of course, Mussolini's Italy passed racial laws already in 1938 which, I believe, were also enforced in Libya. But when the Germans took over from the Italians, the persecution became very harsh with forced labor camps as noted in Giado, etc. The American reporter A J Liebling was in Libya during the war and wrote on the condition of Libyan Jews.
