## Resource

Hidden in a drawer for decades, a stunning collection of undiscovered photos from 1930s–50s Italy reveals the quiet heroism of rural families who sheltered Allied POWs after WWII’s armistice. Found by filmmaker Giordano Viozzi, these images capture sharecroppers in southern Le Marche—many unnamed—who risked everything to hide escapees from Nazis and Fascists. Now on display in Edinburgh, the exhibition is tied to a former POW camp turned national monument and a trust founded by an escaped prisoner, which funds education and research. These hauntingly beautiful photos aren’t just history—they’re powerful testaments to ordinary people’s extraordinary courage, bringing a forgotten chapter back to life.
