The Ruhleben Prison Camp: A Record Of Nineteen Months������� Internment (1917) is a memoir written by Israel Cohen about his experiences as a prisoner of war during World War I. The book provides a detailed account of the author’s nineteen-month internment at the Ruhleben internment camp in Germany, where he and other British civilians were detained after being caught in Germany at the outbreak of war. Cohen describes the harsh living conditions, the food shortages, and the daily struggles of camp life, as well as the various activities and entertainments that the prisoners organized to keep themselves occupied. He also provides insight into the relationships between the prisoners, including the tensions that arose between different nationalities and social classes.The book offers a unique perspective on the experience of civilian internment during World War I, and sheds light on a little-known aspect of the conflict. It is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the lives of those who were caught up in the war’s turmoil, and their efforts to survive and maintain their humanity in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
