Zusatztext "This is an interesting and thought-provoking edited volume that adds greatly to our understanding of incarceration practices during wars and regime changes and would be recommended reading for anyone wishing to pursue the topic." ? European History Quarterly "This volume brings together pioneering work that provides a welcome perspective not only on the treatment of prisoners! but also on how they were understood during the Second World War-a crucial issue in light of the fact that these were people interned not so much for what they did! but who they were." ?

This volume brings together theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich studies of key transitional moments that transformed the scope and nature of European prisons during and after the war. It depicts the complex interactions of both penal and administrative institutions with the men and women who experienced internment, imprisonment, and detention at a time when these categories were in perpetual flux.
