Risiera di San Sabba in Trieste, Italy, is a former rice-husking facility that was repurposed by the Nazis during World War II as a detention camp and extermination site. It is the only concentration camp in Italy that had a crematorium, which was used to dispose of the bodies of political prisoners, partisans, and Jews. Today, it serves as a national monument and museum, commemorating the atrocities committed and honoring the memory of the victims.
