Giuseppina De Muro (or Demuro) (1903–1965) was an Italian Roman Catholic nun who saved over 500 people from concentration camps during the German occupation of Italy.
[3] She is credited with saving the lives of over 500 people by preventing their deportation from Le Nuove prison to Nazi concentration camps.
[4] Among those she saved was Italian essayist Massimo Foa, who was nine months old when she smuggled him out of the prison in a load of dirty sheets.
[7][5] Sister De Muro wrote a report for Cardinal Archbishop Maurilio Fossati, who had urged Catholics to take Jewish refugees into their homes, describing the horrors and the suffering.
[8][9] To support her claim, Father Ruggero Cipolla, OFM (1911-2006), the prison chaplain, wrote to him as well, saying that everything she related was true.
