A Tale of Two Enclaves: WWII Stories and Mussolini's Internment Camps (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781960299550)

What if the true impact of World War II wasn't in the battles fought, but in the lives forever changed by them?

In A Tale of Two Enclaves, Carmine Vittoria delves deep into the human side of history, revealing the profound effects of WWII on everyday people in two very different places: Vienna, Austria, and Avella, Italy. Through meticulously researched historical fiction, Vittoria compares the lives of Jewish and Christian communities in these enclaves, uncovering how their experiences during the war were shaped by their surroundings, social standings, and the whims of those in power.

This book goes beyond military operations to explore the personal stories of survival, resilience, and the stark contrasts between these two worlds-a modern, urban capital recognized as a center of culture and intellectual thinking, and rural, agrarian region where everyday life had remained the same for centuries. Vittoria sheds new light on little-known facts and relationships among Nazi and Fascist leaders that influenced the war's outcome and left lasting scars on the people caught in its wake.

Don't just read about history-experience it through the eyes of those who lived it.
