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:

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
