Renicci concentration camp
 
|
The Renicci concentration camp ( campo di concentramento Renicci ) was from October 1942 to September 1943 an Italian concentration camp of Fascist Italy near the municipality of Anghiari in the province of Arezzo . It was under the II. Armata , had a capacity of almost 4,000 prisoners and was directed by Colonello Giuseppe Pistone. The inmates were mainly Slovenian and Croatian civilians who were relocated to the north-eastern concentration camps Chiesanuova , Monigo and Gonars .
On May 11, 1943, 400 political prisoners were evacuated from the exile island of Ustica to Renicci. After the ceasefire in Cassibile and the associated uncertainty, the guards and most of the prisoners fled. The camp was closed on October 21 and the remaining 400 or so prisoners were handed over to the Germans.
