Synopsis

Apart from presenting the advantages of oral history and memory studies for understanding the policy concerning the Italian confinement and internment regime during the Second World War, this book provides a unique forensic reconstruction of the survivors’ experience of the camps, introducing us to both the victims and perpetrators, with the former taking center stage. They are the voices of people that still remembered the arrests, interrogations, transports to the camps or, rather, internment, lack of food, unbearable conditions of movement, humiliation, disease, and death.

This book will appeal to scholars and students alike as well as anyone interested in the history of concentration camps.
