Jadu (/ˈdʒɑːduː/ JAH-doo; Arabic: جادو‎‎, Berber: Jadu), in other languages also: Giado (Italian) and Gado, is a mountain town in western Libya, in the Jabal al Gharbi District and the Nafusa Mountains. Jadu was the site of an Italian concentration camp during the Second World War.[3] In 1942, about 2,000 Jews [4] and other peoples, who were considered undesirables, were rounded up throughout Libya and sent to the Jadu camp.[5] 564 died from typhus and other privations.[6] The camp was liberated by the British Army in January 1943.
