Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an unusual book in that it is an important contribution to social psychology and also an absorbing story of four strange years in a German prison camp of World War I. Four thousand men and boys from the most varied walks of life—professors, seamen, jockeys, schoolboys, bank directors, musicians, clerks, scientists—were taken from civilian life and placed in Ruhleben on the outbreak of war; no activities were prescribed for them, no direction was given to their communal life. In the event, this miscellaneous group of people, closed off from the world, create d their own society. This book is the story of how they did it and what the society they made was like; much more than this, the camp provides a gifted and sympathetic social psychologist with a rare opportunity for study and analysis of an important if inadvertent social experiment. The time elapsed between the event itself and the completion of the book may in one way be regretted; it did, however, allow the author, who was himself and inmate of Ruhleben, the opportunity for mature reflection on its meaning. The book is a contribution to the history of World War I; it is also a basic and timeless study of the dynamics of individual and group behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ruhleben Prison Camp: A Record of Nineteen Months' Internment The Ruhleben Camp is. Only one of about a hundred and fifty prisoners of war camps in Germany, but its name is probably the most widely known on this side of the North Sea, owing to its being the camp in which all British civilians of military age in the German Empire are concentrated, and to the frequency with which its affairs have engaged the attention of both Houses of Parliament in this country. I was interned there for nineteen months, from November 6, 1914, unto June 6, 1916. Previous to my internment I was imprisoned for a few days in September, 1914, solely on the ground of my being a British subject, in the Stadtvogtei Gefangnis, Berlin. On the day of my removal to Ruhleben I was again locked up for a few hours in that same jail, which served as a collecting-station, and five months later I was lodged within its walls for the third and longest period.

Download or read book British Civilian Internees in Germany written by Matthew Stibbe and published by . This book was released on 2008-10-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book tells the forgotten story of four to five thousand British civilians who were interned at the Ruhleben camp near Berlin during the First World War and formed a unique community in the heart of enemy territory. The civilians included academics, musicians, businessmen, seamen and even tourists who had been in Germany for only a few days when war broke out. This book takes a fresh look at German internment policies within an international context, using Ruhleben camp as a particular example to illustrate broader themes including the background to the German decision to intern "enemy aliens," Ruhleben as a "community at war," the role of civilian internment in wartime diplomacy and propaganda, and the place of Ruhleben in British memory of the war. This study will be of interest to all scholars working on the First World War, and to all those concerned with the broader impact of modern conflicts on national identities and community formation.

Book excerpt: Ruhleben was an Internment Camp in Germany for British internees, and the first part of this book contains letters from one of the prisoners (referred to as Richard Roe ) to his mother. He was an Oxford undergraduate who was in Hamburg when war broke out, He was unable to get away before the shutters descended and was interned in Ruhleben. The second part is based on the Camp journal called "In Ruhleben Camp - a little periodical of 48 pages, illustrated by Stanley Grimm, an inmate. Between them we have a most interesting account of life in the camp, which, because of the many branches of study including a laboratory, all organised by the internees, was referred to by the visiting Bishop of Bury (the only authorised visitor) as The University of Ruhleben. Illustrations include a plan of the camp and of one of the barracks as well as picturing various activities.Among the internees was Sir Timothy Eden, held there from 1914 to 1916, and this account is prefixed by a letter in which he states the case for a wholesale exchange of civilian prisoners.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Ruhleben Camp: September 12th, 1915 From the same source we are exhorted not to worry about a winter smoke room. Everything possible is being done to provide for comforts of this description. The Camp has seen the letter from the British Foreign Office with regard to the medal question and will be glad to hear that the Captains are hastening to inform the Authorities at home that they had nothing to -do officially with the medal movement nor was it, in any sense -of the word, a Camp movement. The resolution passed at the Anti-medal Meeting together with the signatures thereto will probably also be forwarded. We trust that this snub from the Home Authorities will deter any further attempt on the part of any small section' of the Camp to act in a way calculated to prejudice the whole Camp in the eyes of the people at home.
