Blatant Injustice - The Story of a Jewish Refugee from Nazi Germany Imprisoned in Britain and Canada during World War II

Grossly unsanitary living conditions, cruel and abusive treatment by camp officials, the withholding of medical treatment - these were common experiences for refugees imprisoned at internment camps in Britain and Canada. Walter Igersheimer's memoir exposes this bleak period in the British and Canadian war record.
