TitelTaschen-Kalender fur das Schaltjahr
BeschrijvingCalendar printed in German; cover reads 'Taschen-Kalender fur das Schaltjahr 1944 Andenken an Ferramonti' ["Calendar for the leap year 1944. In memory of Ferramonti"] with three silhouettes of houses below. The booklet describes the organisation of the camp; who was doing what; it includes a calendar of Jewish and Catholic festivals. The calendar also contains a poem, written by A. Deutsch. The poem is not very sophisticated, but the author tries to play on the words "sitzen" (sit) and "eingesessen" (to be imprisoned) which are very similar in the German language. See inscriptions/marks for translation.

Taal
- German In this camp "sat down" *
Men, women rich in number
Men didn't quite "sit down"
However the barbed wire was a torture.
As soon as the barbed wire disappeared
Men felt free again
And obliged to the Allies
And then began the "traveling".
* the author uses the German expression for "to sit" but means "being imprisoned" in the Italian concentration camp Ferramonti
