description Like other camps (for example in Italy: Gonars, Chiesanuova, Visco, Renicci; in Dalmatia: Rab, Molat) the Treviso concentration camp was created by fascists in order to imprison civilians, Slovenians and Croats. These people were captured to suppress the resistance which developed after the Italian occupation. There were around 200 victims of the camp, including 53 children under ten years of age. The prisoners were supported by a network of solidarity, both religious and secular. The former was headed by the Ljubljana Bishop, the latter by a rich Slovenian engineer Milan Lenarčič, who was helped by his niece Breda, daughter of Mavricij Rus, medical director in Ljubljana. Lenarčič came to live in Preganziol in the “Villa Pace”, and his house became a logistical base for aid to prisoners.
