Trieste – Risiera di San Sabba (Diary of Giordano Dudine)

Some of the cells at Risiera di San Sabba, but more on those in another post. One of the political prisoners who found himself here was Giordano Dudine and he had previously spent time at Buchenwald and Gross-Rosen.

This exhibit is of Dudine’s diary and the camp was taken by the Allies a couple of weeks after this, although the Germans tried to destroy the crematorium and any evidence of what had taken place here. The diary was donated by his son, also Giordano Dudine, in 2009. Unfortunately, I can’t find any online content from this diary, so it’s not entirely clear what he was writing about and that would have perhaps given visitors a greater insight into the period.
