Baracca numero 25 : dalla strage di Podhum all'internamento in Italia, 1942-1944

On July 12, 1942, the village of Podhum (north of Rijeka/Fiume) suffered a fierce reprisal by Italian soldiers by order of the Prefect T. Testa, motivated by the link of the population with local partisans. Over 100 men were killed, houses burned, livestock and all their belongings requisitioned. Their relatives (889) were deported and sorted to various provinces of centralnorthern Italy, where they undergo political internment. Particularly three groups were sent to Fabriano, Arcevia and Mondavio, in the Marche Region [Publisher's text].
