Abstract

The article deals with the figure of Raphael Oggiano through the specific case of a potential job for a new city only for Jews survivors of the Holocaust. After a general presentation of the Oggiano and his important work, this case is presented through the papers from the private archive of Oggiano, now at the university library of Sassari.This article intends to show how, through the archives, unknown stories can be told about territories close to us; it is therefore an opportunity for reflection both on the proposed themes (the ex-novo creation of a city to welcome Holocaust survivors) and on the great importance of local archives.
