For anyone interested in Ferramonti di Tarsia, the Calabrian concentration camp, and the miraculous 1940 adventure of the Pentcho steamship that sailed down the Danube carrying 500 Jews on their hopeful journey to Erez Israel (but was diverted to Ferramonti for a few years) I am told there is to be a Pentcho reunion in Tel Aviv in May of this year. As yet I only have the date of the 18th May but no doubt will hear more in time. If anyone wants to know more, feel free to email me. I intend to be there as I am involved in the Ferramonti story having just published by late father's book about his three years in captivity there (David Henryk Ropschitz: Ferramonti:Salvation behind the barbed wire")
