A calendar from the Italian Displaced Persons Camp "Ferramonti di Tarsia". The calendar contains the dates of Jewish and Catholic holidays, information about the camp and advertising pages for craftsman and businesses in Ferramonti.
Ferramonti di Tarsia was the largest concentration camp established by Benito Mussolini in the summer of 1940. Most detainees were Jewish. In September 1943, a few days prior to the surrender of Italy to the allied forces, the detainees in Ferramonti were released. Many of the detainees stayed in the camp and it served as a Displaced Persons Camp until December 1945.
