scope and content: The file contains two examples of the journal the 'Kitchener Camp' for refugees, a monthly Camp newspaper on the Isle of Man (self-governing crown dependency in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland). Kitchener Camp was taken over by the Central British Fund of the Council for German Jewry (CBF) at the beginning of 1939 to rescue threatened Jews from Germany and Austria. Conditions for admission were that inmates must be aged between 18 and 40 and that they have a definite prospect of emigration overseas. The newspaper of the camp reports about the activities in the camp as well as in the world, including a series of camp orders, letters and other papers from internees concerning conditions of internment and questioning the official categorisation of 'enemy aliens', instructions to internees who were about to be released and other miscellaneous papers can be also seen. Informations about art exhibitions in the camp as well as sport events are published in the newspaper. Furthermore advertisments of shops and services run and given by the inmates are included in the newspaper.
