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.

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.

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: Excerpt from The History of Ruhleben: A Record of British Organisation in a Prison Camp in Germany "You mustn't suppose that the camp was always like this. When the men were first brought here, the place wasn't fit to keep pigs in. All that you have admired in the camp they have themselves created.' That is what Count Schwerin, Commandant of Ruhleben, said, some time in the summer of 1916, to a distinguished American visitor who had called on him with an introduction from the American Embassy. It was the generous tribute of an enemy whom Ruhleben men had ceased to think of as an enemy before he died. This book is written to set forth, in detail, the facts on which it was based, and to show how a number of Englishmen, raked in from the German cities, dumped in a swamp, and housed in stables, set to work to found a British colony and build a British city within a few miles of the enemy's capital, and to place on record the hard work done by many men in many different departments of endeavour. Mr Powell was pressed to write such a book at the time of the Ruhleben Exhibition. Mr Gobble was, at the same time, contemplating the publication of his personal recollections of the camp in the early days when the great colonising effort was still in its infancy. Each of the two had amassed a great deal of material which would have been very useful to the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
