OriginalGiado concentration camp was a concentration camp for Libyan Jews, operated by Italy, in the Libyan Nafusa Mountains. 20% of its prisoners died.
Reason
This is the only known photograph of the Giado concentration camp. Its quality has some issues (it looks like it's been digitally softened), but... this is the only surviving image of a concentration camp, whose structure has since been destroyed.

  • Comment – Unfortunetely this is too small. The Featured picture criteria says "images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height". In this case, however, an exception may be granted for historical reasons. —Bruce1eetalk 12:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think an exception is called for here. It's the deadliest North African WWII concentration camp, and this is the only photo of it. No trace remains of the camp nor of the nearby medieval cemetery where the prisoners buried their dead—so not even a photo of ruins can be taken to replace or supplement it.

  • Weak oppose - I'd be okay with giving this one a pass on resolution, since it's historical and exceeds 1500px on the long axis, but it's both low-contrast and kind of blurry up close. If there were a better copy of this image, I'd support it. Moonreach (talk) 14:21, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Empty buildings (in low-rez), without people, don't really convey the nature of the topic. – Sca (talk) 16:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, per above, esp. because of its poor resolution. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 03:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
