For more information on Narḍ, have a look at the web site http://www.comune.nardo.le.it.
It is in southeast Italy - JN90AE, close to the Ionian Sea, 28 kilometers southwest of Lecce and over 600 kilometers from Rome in the area called “Salento”.

The population here is over 32,000. Narḍ is recognized for it's Baroque style, the Museum of Memory and Reception in Santa Maria al Bagno of Jewish survivors at the end of WWII and its homes on the seaside.

HISTORY
Soon after the Second World War thousands of people who survived the Nazism chose Puglia as a temporary destination. The American and English allied forces decided to organize some reception camps, the so called Displaced Persons Camps, in Santa Maria al Bagno, Santa Maria di Leuca, Santa Cesarea Terme and Tricase Porto. Santa Maria al Bagno, rich in beautiful villas and summer residences, was well-known from ancient times as a seaside resort; along with the nearby holiday destinations, such as Cenate and Mondonuovo, it was considered as the ideal place for setting up the D.P.C. n°34, the greatest in Salento, characterized by refugees housing scattered throughout the territory. It hosted thousands of Jewish refugees and was closed in 1947.

THE MURALES
The murals are unique in the world, with a high documentary value for they represent the only European graphic record about the Aliyah Bet or the voyage that soon after the War led the Jewish survivors to the Promised Land.

THE DOCUMENTARY EXHIBITION
The “Stories Hall” houses a permanent photo exhibition, along with objects and records that really take the visitor into the original life in the camp. As it is shown by the photos, the refugees could finally lead a normal and peaceful existence, characterized by respect and integration among different cultures, religions and languages. Looped documentaries offer the visitors an additional moment of reflection.

ACTIVITIES
Play-educational workshops and paths for school groups, children, youngsters and families. Tours and guided walks through the Camp. Jewish Salento tours in collaboration with Palazzo Taurino – Medieval Jewish Lecce.
