Biography

Giovanni Battista Daly born in Prato, Italy on June 24th, 1898, a laborer and father of six. He was captured in the area called “Il Pino” in Prato while on a bicycle searching for his son Rolando who had not returned home, in fact he had been captured on March 7th in Piazza delle Carceri. His son Rolando was released at the Leopoldine Schools and turning around he saw for the last time his father Giovanni standing under the loggia. The whole family hoped for Giovanni's release as well, but instead he was tragically deported to Mauthausen on transport No. 32. He arrived at Mauthausen on March 11th, 1944, registered under number 57092, later transferred to Ebensee subcamp and finally to the euthanasia center in Hartheim where he was killed on October 4th, 1944.

Unfortunately, we are left with only this scanty information about our grandfather.
