- Berat Camp, March 1945 – May 1949 The camp was mainly in the town’s “Çelepias” neighbourhood. The camp operated in the years 1945 – 1949. A part of the internees were temporarily taken to Kuçova and at KatëRrugët e Shijakut (Four Roads of Shijak). According to a document dated 13 August 1948, the 65 internees of Berat worked at the Kuçova Farm. In March 1946, there were 1,275 internees at the Berat Camp, who were from Shkodra (270), Kukës (331), Peshkopi (178), Elbasan (173), Durrës (234) and Tirana. The internees of Berat were taken to Kuçova for work. It could be considered as a smaller camp dependent on the Berat Camp. Pandi Anastasi was the director. In 1946, there were 1275 internees from middle and northern Albania at the Berat Camp. They were from renowned families such as: Gjonmarkaj, Dema, Kupi, Dine, Pervizi etc. One of these families’ representatives was Marta Gjomarkaj, who was only 26 when she was interned in Berat due to her father and two brothers escaping. Her brother, former ministure of Culture Mark Gjomarkaj, had been killed. She was transferred to the “Murat Çelepia” neighbourhood of this town along with many other interned families. Along with other families, she “expressed dissatisfaction against the power.” Marta was arrested on 21 January 1947 in Berat. She was convicted by the Martial Court of the 1st division in Elbasan on 26 April 1947 and seven years in prison for her “acts against the people and state.” Fate had it that the decision was reviewed by the High Martial Court on 10 May 1947, shortening her sentence to three years of imprisonment and forced labour.”- September 1947 records mention that there were 586 internees in the camp. The Berat Camp commander in the years 1947 – 1949 was Bektash Pogaçe from Kardhiq, Gjirokastra, an agricultural labourer with elementary education. The internees of Berat were also used for exhumation. Men worked at the aviation field whereas women harvested olives. After the camp was closed, the internees were mainly moved to Tepelena and Porto-Palermo. On 9 May 1949, the camp was closed and the largest part of internees were mainly transferred to Tepelena, as this place was within the jurisdiction of the Directorate of Internal Affairs of Berat.Internees
