| Abstract | A German diplomat asserted in 1988 that little has been written about prisoners of war in United States history, because the topic lacked the 'elements of high drama': 'The inmates of those camps were treated correctly, housed and fed properly, and even given a chance to better themselves by acquiring the skill of a trade or an additional education.' His assessment described what was true for Idaho during the brief period that it shared with other states in the Northwest the burden of detaining Axis prisoners. Focus on Camp Rupert in Idaho. |
