Abstract
The article deals with the political and military organization of the former internees in the Italian concentration camp Rab. Although there were only about 2,000 of them at the beginning of September 1943, they managed to disarm the entire Italian military garrison on the island of Rab, which consisted of 2,200 soldiers and carabinieri, partly by cunning and partly by force. It was a unique event in world history, made even more glorious by the fact that no Italian soldiers or carabinieri were liquidated in the process. The head of the Executive Committee of the clandestine Liberation Front was Jože Jurančič, who was arrested in 1949 and then imprisoned on Goli Otok. As such, he was one of the former internees of the Rab concentration camp who carved stones and placed them in the renovated cemetery of the former internees of Rab.
