  • Our take on the The Ruhleben Prison Camp

    Israel Cohen's first-hand account of the Ruhleben internment camp, where Britain held German civilians in a converted Berlin racecourse during World War I. Cohen, a British journalist interned there for nineteen months, describes daily life, camp organization, food, work and the prisoners' self-run society. It is a primary source rather than a modern history, so it suits readers who want a witness account and are willing to weigh a British internee's perspective. Rivals in the field are later scholarly studies and other internment memoirs; this one stands out for its detail on camp routine and its period voice.

    Questions and answers

    Is this a modern history or a reprint of an old book?
    It is a reprint of Israel Cohen's contemporary memoir of his internment, first published shortly after World War I. Treat it as a primary source, not a current scholarly overview.
    Who was Israel Cohen?
    A British journalist and Zionist writer who was in Germany when war broke out and was interned at Ruhleben. He wrote this account from his own nineteen months there.
    What was the Ruhleben camp?
    A camp at a Berlin racecourse where the German authorities held British civilian men during World War I. Cohen describes how the prisoners organized food, work, education and recreation.
    Does it cover the camp's later years?
    No. It covers Cohen's own internment period of about nineteen months, so it does not follow the camp through to the end of the war.
    Is it suitable for academic use?
    It works as a primary source in coursework on WWI internment, but pair it with a modern scholarly study for context and criticism.
    Where is the The Ruhleben Prison Camp cheapest?
    At Walmart, for $34.95, as of our latest check.
