| Description : |
Reproduced from the Journal of the Historical Society of South Australia, no. 17, 1989, this article by Professor Paul Nursey-Bray is about Francesco Fantin, an Italian-born anarchist and anti-fascist, who was interned at Loveday Internment Camp as an enemy alien during the Second World War, and was killed by Fascists at the camp in November 1942. Internees were grouped together by nationality with no regard for their political or religious beliefs, leading to Nazis and Fascists and anti-Nazis and Anti-fascists being imprisoned together. Friction between those with opposing political views was often evident and some suggested that their incarceration together contravened the Geneva Convention. At Loveday an Italian anarchist and anti-fascist, Francesco Fantin, was killed by Bruno Casotti, a Fascist, on 16 November 1942. |
