Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Escaping From Germany I have been asked many times, since my return, if the accounts told in the press from time to time regarding the treatment of prisoners of war interned in Germany were really true. I have endeavoured faith fully to answer these questions in these memoirs; I have endeavoured to show that, by their systematic brutality towards us, they succeeded in getting us down upon our knees, but could not finally succeed in throwing us ﬂat upon our backs. Half-starved, ill-clothed (particularly during the winter of 1914 covered with vermin from head to foot, compelled wto live in vile dens of huts like cattle, they could not browbeat us; they could not, try as they might, crush that spirit that has made our race. I take great pride in placing upon record this fact we never for one moment forgot that we were English men - I mean, of course, Britons; and no matter in what circumstances of difficulty or misfortune we found ourselves, we always stood up to them, very often having to suffer ill-usage as the consequence. We could not help it - the old spirit was there and it would force its way to the surface. There are scores of thousands of Germans who will never forget the Englanders who came as prisoners of war amongst them; and our countrymen, whose' business or pleasure takes them to Germany when the war is over, will never be ashamed of anything they may hear concerning our actions while we were interned there.

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.

Yet the bare' outlines of a portrait often impress the characteristic features more vividly than color and detail. The history of the Germans in this country goes back to the earliest colonial period. Recurrent waves in the eighteenth were followed by great tides of German immigration in the nineteenth century, and these carried into the population of the United States an element second in amount only to the contribution of the English stock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A War-Time Journal, Germany 1914 and German Travel Notes Prefaces are rarely read, yet I have the hardihood to venture on this one because there are certain things in connection with my journal which it is necessary to explain. On returning from Germany, although urged by my friends to publish the story of my experiences, I refused, fearing to do anything which in the smallest degree might prejudice the case of those still in captivity. There came a day, nevertheless, when I read that all English people had left Altheim. The papers announced that men under forty-five had been interned at Ruhleben, and those over that age had been sent to Giessen. There seemed, therefore, no possible object in further withholding the journal, since, after all, there was nothing in it which could by any possibility affect the fate of others less fortunate than I. Accordingly I sent my manuscript to the Evening Standard, which accepted it, and published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Germany I have not ventured this volume without a pur pose. After several years' residence in Germany, I returned home and was surprised to find how little people in, general knew of German life. A vague idea of beer-drinking students thick-headed emigrant peasants, metaphysics and philosophy no one can understand, with a cloud of pipe-smoke enveloping the whole, seemed tome the received impression of a people, who yearly have been pouring into our land, bringing with them their thrift and talent. That there be truth in the general conception no one can deny, but that all the sweet amenities of life spring up in its domestic relations, that there is a charm living in a country where every rood of land teems with poetry and historic lore, does not re quire me to tell. That the constancy of their affec tions and the goodness of their nature commands our respect, has so impressed me, that I have ventured to print my rambling thoughts. So many of my country-women are finding their way to Germany, perhaps a few remarks by one of their kind may prove useful. I do not pretend to convey anything but passing impressions, but such as they are, they may awaken in some a wish, as one of their own writers has beautifully expressed it: To lift the veil that shrouds this romantic land, or it may give some idea of common life as they will find it.

Up to the beginning of July, a party of five was expected, but several accidents ultimately reduced the number to two. It was a gleat disappointment at first that the party had been reduced to such small proportions, but subsequent events almost made one feel that the reduction of the party was providential, for two of the youths who fell out during July were seventeen years of age, and had they joined us, they would not have been released, but would have been interned in the camp at Ruhleben near Berlin, and their detention in Germany would have necessitated my own, for I should not have returned home without them.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Secrets of a Charmed Life and As Bright as Heaven comes a novel about a German American teenager whose life changes forever when her immigrant family is sent to an internment camp during World War II. In 1943, Elise Sontag is a typical American teenager from Iowa—aware of the war but distanced from its reach. Then her father, a legal U.S. resident for nearly two decades, is suddenly arrested on suspicion of being a Nazi sympathizer. The family is sent to an internment camp in Texas, where, behind the armed guards and barbed wire, Elise feels stripped of everything beloved and familiar, including her own identity. The only thing that makes the camp bearable is meeting fellow internee Mariko Inoue, a Japanese-American teen from Los Angeles, whose friendship empowers Elise to believe the life she knew before the war will again be hers. Together in the desert wilderness, Elise and Mariko hold tight the dream of being young American women with a future beyond the fences. But when the Sontag family is exchanged for American prisoners behind enemy lines in Germany, Elise will face head-on the person the war desires to make of her. In that devastating crucible she must discover if she has the will to rise above prejudice and hatred and re-claim her own destiny, or disappear into the image others have cast upon her. The Last Year of the War tells a little-known story of World War II with great resonance for our own times and challenges the very notion of who we are when who we’ve always been is called into question.

Book excerpt: "[T]he amazing story of a woman who lived through one of the worst times in human history, losing family members to the Nazis but surviving with her spirit and integrity intact.” —Publishers Weekly Marthe Cohn was a young Jewish woman living just across the German border in France when Hitler rose to power. Her family sheltered Jews fleeing the Nazis, including Jewish children sent away by their terrified parents. But soon her homeland was also under Nazi rule. As the Nazi occupation escalated, Marthe’s sister was arrested and sent to Auschwitz and the rest of her family was forced to flee to the south of France. Always a fighter, Marthe joined the French Army and became a member of the intelligence service of the French First Army. Marthe, using her perfect German accent and blond hair to pose as a young German nurse who was desperately trying to obtain word of a fictional fiancé, would slip behind enemy lines to retrieve inside information about Nazi troop movements. By traveling throughout the countryside and approaching troops sympathetic to her plight--risking death every time she did so--she learned where they were going next and was able to alert Allied commanders. When, at the age of eighty, Marthe Cohn was awarded France’s highest military honor, the Médaille Militaire, not even her children knew to what extent this modest woman had helped defeat the Nazi empire. At its heart, this remarkable memoir is the tale of an ordinary human being who, under extraordinary circumstances, became the hero her country needed her to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from At Large in Germany The ego appears in this volume with almost autobiographical frequency. To prevent alarm, therefore, a word of explanation may be necessary. The writer's presence was vital to the impressions here recorded, but, at the same time, he had a double role to play. For, in addition to being his own insignificant self, bent upon his own enjoyment, he had to represent, in all things that entered his notebook, that vague, mysterious nonentity - the Average American. It is this latter character, this alter ego, who is so talkative about his ideas and his impressions in the following. It is the Average American who sees, who enjoys, and who scoffs. It is true that no one (not even the author himself) cares about the personal ego; when he shaves, with whom he bunks at night, and how he enjoys his dinners. But when this important figure, the Average American, so often mentioned of late but never met, so much quoted but never heard, when he is near unto seasickness, or when he is bored, we listen attentively. Nothing in the life of this great hero is too insignificant for our notice. In this light then, perhaps the account of the Average American's summer in Germany will seem all too brief and fragmentary. If so, it is because the true first person was too busy with his own affairs to Boswellize the hero-speaker of this tale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Visit to Ruhleben I must ask my readers further to remember that this is a description of the camp and its life and the men as I saw them, and it is this description alone that they wish me to give. Every one here knows, something at least, of what they had to endure in those early months of their internment at Ruhleben. The recollection of it can never pass away from the minds of either old or young, nor the effects of it either; but, with the magnanimity which distinguishes them, they do not wish to brood upon it, nor to cherish rancour or resentful feelings about it; and in obedience, therefore, to their express wishes I am confining myself to the description of things as I actually saw them. In justice to the German authorities, I should like to make it also quite clear that it was their wish that I should see things just as they are. There was no preparation in the camp for my visit the greater part of the staff, as I shall describe later, were absent when I arrived; no one knew that I was expected, and nothing whatever was done in preparation for me except the setting aside of a room for me to occupy, in case I should come.
