The purpose of this project is to collect all of the profiles of displaced persons or Holocaust Survivors, who were residents of Santa Maria al Bagno Displaced Persons Camp. This camp was formally known as Santa Maria di Bagni Displaced Persons Camp and was located in Santa Maria al Bagno, Italy.
History of the camp
Santa Maria al Bagno was the site of a post World War II displaced person camp.
A new museum opened in the village dedicated to thousands of concentration camp survivors who travelled through Italy on their way to Israel after World War II. The Museum of Memory and Welcome has been created in Santa Maria through which some 150,000 Jews passed between 1943 and 1947. The museum houses all the material relating to the time from the town council archives, including witness reports, photographs and videos, as well as a multimedia room and a library.
