"In correspondence to Italy’s entering WWII (June 10, 1940), on June 15 the Ministry of Interior ordered foreign Jews to be arrested and interned. A 1938 law had ordered most of them to be expelled within six months, but many had stayed stuck because they lacked visas or money to pay the journey. Internment concerned German and Polish Jews as well as Jews from other Central European countries and stateless Jews. Adult men were sent to internment camps; women and children were left in their places of residence or were interned in small villages; afterwards, most of the families were reunited in the Ferramonti di Tarsia camp, in Calabria, or in several sites. Almost all internment camps and about half of the internment villages were in Southern and Central Italy. As time passed by and the theatre of war expanded, foreign Jews who were in Rhodes, in Libya and in Yugoslavia were also interned in Italy.
On September 8, 1943 the armistice between the Italian Kingdom and the Allies was announced. As many refugees were interned in Southern Italy, they were released by the Allies at their arrival, while in central and northern regions German occupation authorities and the new fascist government of Italian Social Republic kept or reinstated the internment system, which was now aimed at deportation.
There were many thousands of foreign Jews interned from June 1940 to September 1943. The drama of these people, who were gathered in remote Italian villages and eradicated from their cultural, social, economical background, who had been wandering for several years through Europe - which had become for them a lethal place because of the nazi extermination project – is expressed by this General Index of Foreign Jews Interned in Italy 1940-1943, that CDEC Foundation makes available to scholars and all who are interested.
This Index includes the lists generated by two important researches carried out in the last years by two scholars: Francesca Cappella (unfortunately prematurely deceased) and Anna Pizzuti. The database created by Francesca Cappella includes names and data of 5.829 foreign Jews, for whom there is a personal file in the State Central Archive, “Fondo Ministero dell’Interno, Cat. A4bis, Internati stranieri e spionaggio” (Ministry of Interior Fund, Cat. A4bis, Foreign Internees and Espionage). The database created by Anna Pizzuti includes names and data of 9337 foreign Jews and it is continually updated; these names are basically taken from the lists at the State Central Archive, “Fondo Ministero dell’Interno, Cat.A16, Stranieri ed ebrei stranieri” (Ministry of Interior Fund, Cat. A16, Foreigners and Foreign Jews), and the research expands to many other archives."--GENERAL INDEX OF FOREIGN JEWS INTERNED IN ITALY 1940-1943 at https://www.cdec.it/i-nomi-della-shoah/
