Concentration camp Mlini

There were a few smaller concentration camps in the vicinity of Dubrovnik all managed by the VI Army Corps. Most were intended for the internment of Jews. One of such camps was in Mlini (sometimes called Milini or Melini in Italian) where the well-supervised hotel Mlini was used due to the lack of other facilities. The camp operated from November 1942 to February 1943, when most of the internees were transferred to other camps, mostly to nearby Kupari.

Letter franked with 3,50 kn, sent from Sarajevo (7.I.43) to the concentration camp in Mlini, censored by Italian military censorship (COMMISSIONE CENSURA POSTA MILITARE / 39). From well known Goldberg correspondence. Very few postal items are preserved.
