"You Must All Be Interned": Identity Among Internees In Great Britain During World War Ii, Elizabeth A. Atkins
The Gettysburg Historical Journal
Between 1933 and 1940, the United States, Great Britain and most other developed nations saw an influx of German refugees entering their borders attempting to be free of the tyranny of Hitler’s National Socialism. Many of those fleeing from Germany were intellectuals: authors, teachers, artists, or thinkers who faced persecution in their homeland.
