Museo Storico Eccidio di San Terenzo Bardine

 

The Museo Storico Eccidio di San Terenzo Bardine (San Terenzo Bardine Massacre Historical Museum) commemorates the massacre of 159 local civilians by German forces from August 17-19, 1944. On August 17, forces from the 16th SS Panzergrenadier Division Reichsführer-SS were attacked by Italian partisans near the village of Bardine; later that day, German troops under SS Commander Walter Reder began retaliation attacks in the area. The civilian population of San Terenzo Monti including women, children, and the elderly was rounded up and executed.

The museum is located in a preserved house in the centre of San Terenzo Monti, and is marked by a plaque which commemorates the massacre. Documents, maps, and photographs which provide information on the movement of German forces, the massacre, and the aftermath are displayed.
