Ferramonti to Palestine July 1944

• Holocaust Refugee Children, Italy -- Ferramonti -- SS Palestine (June 1944) -- Fort Ontario

Overview

In July 1944 the Italian and British authorities authorized a second (smaller) group of Jewish refugees to leave Italy for Palestine, after the departure of a first convoy in May 1944 (see SS Palestine May44). In the same days, at the end of July 1944, around 1000 Jewish refugees sailed from Naples to the United States (Fort Ontario).

Among the 57 passengers (all refugees from Central Europe) were at least 8 children. Seven of them had been present with their families at Liberation of Ferramonti in Sep 1943, one (Dina Neumann) had joined them after leaving the internment at Asolo (near Treviso) and a period in hiding in Central Italy.

The Pentcho Ship

The parents of six of the children were among the passengers of the Pentcho Ship who were interned at Rhodes and later at Ferramonti, until Liberation in Sept 1943. The four older children were born in Slovakia and were part of the original group, one was born in Rhodes in 1941, and one in Ferramonti in 1943.
