Publisher's Synopsis
The Ruhleben Prison Camp: A Record Of Nineteen Months������� Internment (1917) is a book written by Israel Cohen that provides a detailed account of his experiences as a prisoner in the Ruhleben internment camp during World War I. The book is based on Cohen's personal diary that he kept during his nineteen months of internment in the camp. The Ruhleben camp was located in Germany and was used to detain British and Allied civilians who were living in Germany at the outbreak of the war. Cohen's book describes the harsh living conditions in the camp, including the lack of food, clothing, and medical care. He also provides insight into the daily routines of the prisoners and the various activities that they engaged in to pass the time.
