During WW2, did the Jewish population suffer the same fate as in other countries allied with or conquered by Germany?

Update:

I can't go to the library because I am disabled, so I ask here, because Google doesn't offer much on the subject of Italy's Jewish Population from 1936-1945.

What was the fate of the Jews in Itay? Also; I am curious Why I have never heard anything about Them, in all the books and documentaries I have studied on World War Two and also on the Holocaust. The fate of Italy's Jewish population has been rarely, if ever, mentioned in things I've seen. I wonder why? I hope maybe they were spared?

    95% of the Jews killed at Auschwitz and the other camps were from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. In 1932 there were 500,000 Jews in Germany, in 1938 less than 150,000. 350,000 Jews got out while the getting was good. They left with only the clothes on their back because of the Nuremburg Laws but they got out alive. As such the lions share of Jews killed in the camps came from Poland, Russia etc.

    Doesn't matter where they were. If the Germans occupied the country, the Jewish went to an awful end.

    OK, kid, you just yelled at "Anonymous" because he failed to READ YOUR FCUKING MIND and figure out that you were asking about Italy. YOU DIDN'T MENTION ITALY IN YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION. How the fcuk was he supposed to know you meant Italy?

    You can't even CHEAT competently. And you obviously don't know how to do childishly-simple research like going to the library and finding a book about WW2 in Italy, the Holocaust, etc. You are very, very stupid AND obnoxious.
