  • A Comparative Study of Second World War Internment Experiences in Great Britain and the United States of America Rachel Pistol R
    A Comparative Study of Second World War Internment Experiences in Great Britain and the United States of America Rachel Pistol Royal Holloway, University of London PhD History In Memory of Andrew Dickinson (1981-2014) and Professor David Cesarani OBE (1956-2015) 1 I, Rachel Pistol, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 2 Abstract This thesis is the first comparative history of internment between the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and compares a nation with both a Constitution and a Bill of Rights to one with neither. Government files, personal correspondence, memoirs, and oral testimony have been used to describe the years preceding internment, the camps themselves, the aftermath, and how internment has been remembered. New sources such as previously unseen letters, interviews, memoirs, monuments, and commemorative ceremonies have been used to describe the experiences of the internees and how this blot on the Allied war record has been remembered. Memoirs, letters, and oral testimony help to put a human face on the suffering incurred during the turbulent early years of the war, and serve as a reminder of what can happen to vulnerable groups during times of conflict. This thesis also considers how these ‘tragedies of democracy’ have been remembered over time, and how the need for the memorialisation of former sites of internment is essential if society is not to repeat the same injustices. 3 Contents Abstract

  • Knockaloe First World War Internment Camp: a Virtual Museum and Archive
    Knockaloe First World War Internment Camp: A Virtual Museum and Archive Claire Elizabeth Corkill PhD University of York Archaeology April 2013 Abstract During the First World War Knockaloe Farm on the west coast of the Isle of Man became an internment camp home to almost 25,000 ‘enemy aliens’. These men, interned for the duration of the war turned their place of incarceration into a unique and productive community with facilities for work, sports and entertainment. The material culture of Knockaloe is wealthy in both quantity and style. Sources include postcards, camp newspapers, journals and photographs along with large collections in public and private ownership of craftwork produced for sale throughout Europe by the internees. This research aims to draw together the material culture of Knockaloe providing interpretation and accessibility through the creation of a virtual museum and archive. By drawing the material together and considering objects, documents and images collectively it is hoped to reconnect with the internees and their experiences within the camp. Through studying aspects of camp life such as the use of space, activities and broader issues such as identity and control and the consideration of other sites of designed and controlled settlement it will be possible to show if Knockaloe was a stereotypical representation of incarceration or if its constraints were relaxed allowing the internees to manipulate their environment. ii Contents Abstract ii Contents iii List of Illustrations vii List of Accompanying Material xv

  • Prisoners, Captivity, and the Civil War Dissertation
    “TO MAKE THE BEST OF OUR HARD LOT”: PRISONERS, CAPTIVITY, AND THE CIVIL WAR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By José O. Díaz, B.S., M.L.S., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Joan E. Cashin Professor C. Mark Grimsley Professor Warren Van Tine __________________ Adviser History Graduate Program Copyright by José O. Díaz 2009 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the captivity of the American soldier during the American Civil War (1861–1865). The plethora of fine works that exist about the experiences of Civil War captives have focused their attention on the harshness of prison life, the resulting casualties, and the need to assign blame. This dissertation takes another approach. Instead, it examines how prisoners of war in both the North and South adapted and made the best of a restrictive and harsh environment. The study shows that prison life, in despite of its trauma and suffering, included the rudiments of an American community. This dissertation also examines the positive aspects of the prison experience. Many captives accepted the reality of the circumstances and set out to make the best of their situation. They used their values to engineer a culture of captivity that made imprisonment endurable and survival possible. The adoption of this culture among Civil War prisoners of war is hardly surprising. The Civil War generation came to war equipped with habits and traditions that made captivity sustainable. These traits did not disappear when the combat soldier relinquished his weapon and commenced the journey into captivity.
