T Santa Maria di Leuca DP camp, the only mixed (Jewish and non-Jewish)
displaced persons (DP) camp in Italy was located in the fishing and resort town of Santa Maria di Leuca. The camp included refugees from Albania, Greece, and Yugoslavia.
Although the Joint (The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee) estimated the capacity of the camp to be 1,800 DPs, the population regularly exceeded that figure. The camp residents included approximately 400 non-Jews, while the Jewish refugees themselves were split: half were unaffiliated DPs and half were members of the camp's kibbutzim, principally the separate community of Kibbutz Aviv
