SS Palestine (May 1944)

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

Overview

In 1944 the Italian government authorized two transports to Palestine, one in May 1944, the other in July 1944. The transports were made mostly of former internees from Ferramonti or other camps who had been liberated in Southern and Central Italy.

In the same period, in July 1944, around 1000 Jewish refugees chose to go from Naples to the United States (Fort Ontario).

The Children

Among the 254 passengers were 43 children.

The Pentcho Ship (24)

These 24 children were part of a group of Jewish refugees who from Bratislava went to Rhodes and were deported to Ferramonti. All of them were liberated at Ferramonti in Sep 1943, except the Ehrlich Bros. who had been transferred with their parents to Monteroduni (near Campobasso), wento into hiding and reunited with the rest of the group only at a later stage.
