Ruhleben

[liverpool annie]

Did you guys see this on Roots ..... ?? Ruhleben Story website at

http://ruhleben.tripod.com

with over 1700 British civilians now identified as having been interned at the Ruhleben civilian POW camp on the outskirts of Berlin. It is believed that about 5,500 POWs were held here from 1914 to 1918. Many of them were merchant seamen, and most were arrested upon the outbreak of hostiltiies in Europe and interned, in response to the British arrests of German nationals in Britain. The site is free to access, and if you had a relative interned there I would love to hear from you!

What a body of work this is !!
