NEW WEB SITE for "UNA STORIA SEGRETA" :

A new and improved "Una Storia Segreta" Web Site is now available with substantial updates, a project of historian LARRY DI STASI, chief researcher of this little-known chapter in U.S. history, and can be found at << http://www.segreta.org/ >>.

"Una Storia Segreta", as you all well know, is the story of how Italian Americans were treated by the United States during World War II, and resulted in.........
"The Wartime Violation of Italian American Civil Liberties Act", signed by the President into Public Law #106-451 on November 7, 2000.

Di Stasi singles out for particular congratulations, JOHN CALVELLI, chair of the Council of Presidents, who wrote the legislation while in Congressman Eliot Engel's office, and TONY LA PIANA, of Chicago's National Italian American Council (NIAC), who worked to move the powerful chairmen of both House and Senate Judiciary committees--Henry Hyde and Orrin Hatch--to support the Wartime Violations Act.

The "Una Storia Segreta" Site contains: Preface, Intro, Prelude to War, Internment, Restrictions,  Evacuation, Exclusion, Aftermath, Personal Stories, Legislation, Exhibit.

Di Stasi has also written a book on the subject, also titled "Una Storia Segreta", and can be ordered from the web site.

TRAVELING EXHIBIT AVAILABLE for "UNA STORIA SEGRETA" :

Di Stasi and the Western chapter of the AIHA, put together the traveling exhibit,
"Una Storia Segreta", which is available to clubs and interested communities.

This Exhibit in it's initial National Tour informed the heretofore unaware Italian American Community, and provided the impetus for the afore mentioned legislation. See the site for details.
