As German troops occupy Italy in September 1943 he joins the<br \/>\npartisan movement. Riccardo is betrayed while recuperating from an illness at<br \/>\nhis parent\u2019s home in November 1944. Together with his father Eduardo, who<br \/>\nwishes to help his son, Goruppi is first detained in Trieste\u2019s Coroneo prison<br \/>\nbefore being sent to the Dachau concentration camp in December. From there the<br \/>\nSS transfers them three weeks later to Leonberg, a subcamp of Natzweiler. They<br \/>\nare forced to work under catastrophic conditions in armaments production for<br \/>\nMesserschmitt. Fully exhausted from the strenuous work, hunger, torture and<br \/>\nillness, Eduardo Goruppi dies on February 20 1945. Shortly after Riccardo<br \/>\ncontracts typhus. He loses consciousness and first comes around again while<br \/>\nbeing transported to the Dachau subcamp at M\u00fchldorf. From M\u00fchldorf the<br \/>\nprisoners are taken to Kaufering ten days later. As the Allies approach the SS<br \/>\ndisbands the camp and on April 29 jams the prisoners into the open-top cars of<br \/>\na goods train. Because a German Army train is stationed on the adjacent track,<br \/>\nnear Schwabhausen the transport is inadvertently targeted in an air raid.<br \/>\nRiccardo Goruppi survives and is liberated by US soldiers. He can first return<br \/>\nhome after spending months in hospital. Today he still lives near Trieste and<br \/>\nis active in an honorary capacity at the Risiera di San Sabba Memorial Site in<br \/>\nTrieste. Riccardo Goruppi is married, has a son and two granddaughters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8th Dachau Contemporary Witness Discussion with Riccardo Goruppi The Italian contemporary witness Riccardo Goruppi was the guest of the Dachau Concentration Camp on September 26.
