Arbe / Rab

Overview

The Arbe (Rab) concentration camp was established by Italian Fascist authorities. It was operational from 28 June 1942 to 8 September 1943.

Conditions in the camps were very harsh for Slavic prisoners. The almost 3,000 Jewish inmates, instead, were treated as refugees. They were provided with better accommodation, sanitation and services; they lived in a separate section of the camp, in wooden and brick barracks and houses in contrast to the overcrowded tents sheltering the Slavic prisoners. And above all, they were spared from deportation.

After the capitulation of Italy and the liberation of the camp on 8 Sep 1943, most of the Jews (with the exception of the elderly and the sick) were evacuated to Partisan-held territory. Many joined the Resistance, while many women and children were brought to safety to southern Italy.

The Children

Some reached southern Italy (#), some remained in Yugoslavia in partisan-controlled territory (*)
