DP Camps in Italy S-Z


Santa Maria al Bagno (or formerly Bagni di Santa Maria) has its own page.

8/11/07   Dear Olga,
My name is Yarden Pinto from Israel. I'm in a group of 4 students and a teacher and we're doing a research about DC camps in south Italy- like Santa Maria al Bagno. We found your wonderful website and we wanted to thank you and also to ask your help with information about those camps and people who went through those camps. If you know where to find information about conventions to build those camps or newspapers about those camps, it will be very helpful. Again, thank you very much, Yarden Pinto from Israel. yaluden@gmail.com

    I just came across your wonderful web site. My wife is a second generation holocaust survivor and we are members of the Melbourne [Australian] group, Descendants of the Shoah. I'm trying to find more details on:

      Kibbutz Ichud near Dachau [after 1945]
      Camp Grugliasco near Turin, Italy [after 1945]
      Camp Barletta near Trani Italy [after 1945]

Villa Caracenni or Villa Cartina,

1/3/08 Dear Olga,
  
Thank you very much for all the time and thorough research!  It does not go unappreciated!  I have been looking at some testimonies of Jewish child survivors from Poland who went to DP camps in Italy following WWII.  I am wondering if you might have information on the following points:
  
1) Any advice on research material re: the status of child survivors in DP camps (specifically Italy)
  
2) Any additional info (aside from what you already provide here) on DP camps in Cremona, Bari, and Rome (and esp., how they dealt with child survivors)  
  
3) Any information about a DP camp in Italy in a place called Villa Caracenni or Villa Cartina, where Kibbutz Ha-noâ•?ar Hatzioni (the "Zionist Youth Kibbutz") existed.
  
Any further reading guides on the subject of Jewish DPs (in Italy, particularly) would also be
greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for your help.  Happy 2008, Rivka Schiller rivkaschiller@yahoo.co


Villa Faraggiano, Northern Italy near Mina, Genoa and La Specia

    1/10/05 Dear Olga
      My husband was training with the Irgun to go fight in Palestine and had to get out of South Africa under an assumed name as had given his passport to Irgun member imprisoned by the British in the concentration camp at Gilgil in Kenya. He was sent to the Villa Faraggiano, which was ostensibly a convalescent camp, but in reality a traing camp and they worked with the DPs and transported guns to La Spezia with the DPs secretly for Palestine. This was a clandestine operation under the guise of a convalescent home. Any info you havewould be appreciated. Sincerely Dr Naomi, clandestinely

Italia camp
    Dear Ms. Kaczmar:
    Do you or does anyone know of a DP camp that housed Polish Jews after the war that was known simply as "Italia"? It's not clear if the camp was actually in Italy or if this was the name of a camp located somewhere else, e.g. in Bavaria. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Yale J. Reisner, Warsaw, email: laudergen@jewish.org.pl
