This list contains the names of Jews living in Piedmont, Italy, who were deported to Nazi concentration camps.  The names came from Dr. Segre’s 3 volume “The Jews of Piedmont”.  Individuals were included in the list if they were identified as being Jewish (the Italian text says: perche ebrea = because he/she was Jewish) and were therefore identified as being arrested because they were Jewish.  Some individuals were unfortunately living in Piedmont at the time of the deportations, but were born elsewhere.

On December 9, it was decided that seals were to be placed on Jewish homes
