Sobre IBD

Following the Italian armistice of 8 September 1943 the prisoners of war who had been held in the work camps in the region of Piedmont dispersed into the surrounding countryside. They were in desperate need of assistance - and a place in which to hide from the nazi-fascist forces bent on hunting them down. Many Italians from all walks of life came to their aid. After the war the Allied Screening Commission invited these people to submit a claim for expenses. Their requests, which vividly desribe the risks they ran, from having their house burnt down to being arrested and shot, form the subject of this book.
