Riassunto. Vengono fatte alcune riflessioni sull'ebraismo e sul dramma della Shoah prendendo spunto dal libro del 1979 di Silvano Arieti Il Parnàs (Milano: Mondadori, 1980), che parla di Giuseppe Pardo Roques, capo (Parnàs) della Comunità ebraica di Pisa, trucidato nella sua abitazione nell’agosto del 1944, assieme ad altre 11 persone, da un gruppo di soldati tedeschi mai identificati. Il Parnàs soffriva di un disturbo psicologico di tipo persecutorio, e la sua malattia viene vista anche come una forma di “premonizione” dei tragici eventi che in quegli anni avrebbero colpito la popolazione ebraica. Il Parnàs è uno degli ultimi libri di Silvano Arieti (1914-1981), uno psichiatra pisano emigrato negli Stati Uniti dove diventerà uno degli psichiatri più importanti del suo tempo.
ILLNESS AS “PREMONITION”. On the basis of Silvano Arieti’s book The Parnas: A Scene from the Holocaust (New York: Basic Books, 1979), some considerations on Judaism and on the tragedy of Shoah are made. The Parnas was Giuseppe Pardo Roques, Head of the Jewish Community of Pisa (Italy), killed in his home in August 1944, together with 11 people of his household, by Nazi soldiers who were never identified. The Parnas suffered of a rare form of persecutory mental disorder, and his illness is seen also as a form or “premonition” of the persecution of Jewish population and of the Holocaust. The Parnas is one of the last books by Silvano Arieti (1914-1981), a psychiatrist who emigrated from Pisa to the United States where he became one of the most influential psychiatrists of the time.

Abstract
ILLNESS AS “PREMONITION”. On the basis of Silvano Arieti’s book The Parnas: A Scene from the Holocaust (New York: Basic Books, 1979), some considerations on Judaism and on the tragedy of Shoah are made. The Parnas was Giuseppe Pardo Roques, Head of the Jewish Community of Pisa (Italy), killed in his home in August 1944, together with 11 people of his household, by Nazi soldiers who were never identified. The Parnas suffered of a rare form of persecutory mental disorder, and his illness is seen also as a form or “premonition” of the persecution of Jewish population and of the Holocaust. The Parnas is one of the last books by Silvano Arieti (1914-1981), a psychiatrist who emigrated from Pisa to the United States where he became one of the most influential psychiatrists of the time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
