    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:

Villa Alba

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
The Nazis left many scars on the children of Europe. Tattooed numbers were physical -- shown here by former concentration camp inmates housed in a center for stateless children at Vallombrosa, Italy. Liberators discovered that these children had emotional scars as well. Photo: UNRRA & M. Wyman

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
