The Basements

The North basement, or cellar, was familiarly known as " Rat Hell." This originally had simply a dirt flooring and it was from the North wall that the tunnel was recommenced. The opening through the wall is still there and the very bricks that were taken from it. The centre room of the three basements contains the cells, four in nnmber, in which prisoners were con- fined for disobedience or for hostages. One of these is entirely without light and was known as the " black hole." The South cellar was not used for any purpose other than storage, and Drisoners had no access to these cellars whatever unless placed in the cells. CATALOGUE LIBBY PRISON WAR MUSEUM
