Arguably we treated people in internment camps and prisoner
of war camps better than the Nazis treated inmates of their prison camps, the
concentration and death camps. However, we were still taking away human freedom
and were depriving people of their normal living conditions.
Thankfully, Renate and Kathe Edler were not interned. They
merely became Class B enemy aliens. Clara Lehrs was interned, with a tragic
result.
Some German Jews were interned in Britain. Many of them
later joined our forces.
Was it right to intern German Jews during World War II?
Can an internment camp be made humane?
