My name is Mario Rende, I am a Professor at University of
Perugia,Italy. I am not an Historian, but for some familiar reasons I
did and
I am doing some historical researches on the Italian concentration
camp of Ferramonti di Tarsia. Ferramonti was the largest concentration
camp for foreign Ebrews in Italy.
On 2009 I wrote a book on this camp by Mursia publisher. I am looking
for an help from a greek researcher because I am interested to
investigate about a small group of Greeks (about 100 persons) interned
in that camp. They were not Ebrews. I discovered that their presence
in that camp was a funny mistake of somebody in the internal
Ministerium who confused the Orthodox
religion with the ebrew Orthodox religion. We know a lot about all the
ebrews there, but we know quite nothing about the greek group.
The only trace I have is the presence of Averoff-Tossitza among them.
He was a very good friend of the director of the camp, Paolo
Salvatore. I
am pretty sure that Averoff Tossitza took with him from Ferramonti
documents and pictures, maybe the list of the greek people in
Ferramonti. I tried to contact the foundation named on Averoff
Tossitza, but I never got any reply. Averoff Tossitza also wrote a
nice book about the time in Ferramonti and for this reason I am sure
he had documents. Could you please help me in my research on the greek
people in Ferramonti?
How can we contact somebody who holds the
archives of Tossitza?
Please find in attachment a pic of Averoff Tossitza with Salvatore and
the only existing pic of the greek group in Ferramonti. Among the
Greeks there was also a pope called Damaskinos. I have also a pic of
him.
I look forward to hear from you
Yours
Mario Rende
