Option in South Tyrol



The Option in South Tyrol (; ) refers to the period between 1939 and 1943, when non-Italian speaking people living in South Tyrol were given the "option" of either emigrating to neighboring Nazi Germany or remaining in South Tyrol and being forcefully integrated in to the mainstream Italian culture, losing their language and cultural heritage.
