Summary

During World War I, the Certosa di Padula in Italy served as one of the largest POW camps, primarily known for its role in forming the Czechoslovak Legion. However, the experiences of Hungarian prisoners—who constituted thousands of detainees—remained largely overlooked until now. This study sheds light on their lives by analyzing letters and memoirs to explore four key aspects: religion, health, grievances, and labor conditions. It also provides a comprehensive list of Hungarian prisoners, filling a significant gap in historical records. The research reveals the harsh realities faced by these detainees while contributing to a broader understanding of their role in the camp's operations.
