KZ Pristina (see Holocaust Children Studies)

Overview

KZ Pristina was an internment camp in Pristina, Kossovo. Several children were detained there with their families. The camp was jointly directed by Italians and Germans.

When the Jewish families complained about the overcrowded prison conditions, the Germans, in response, deported and executed half of the prisoners.

Fearful that the others would also be killed, the remaining Jews appealed to the Italians, who transferred them to camps in Albania.
