| Abstract | This study examines writings and drawings of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and Austria who had sought refuge or asylum in Great Britain before WWII, but were interned as enemy aliens after the outbreak of hostilities. Nearly 3,000 of them were later transferred to Canadian camps in New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. Literature, or, more generally, intellectual activity of a cultural nature, may be seen as having a specific function for the exiles or internees. This study shows the functional value of this artistic expression in the internees' coming to terms with their internment. |
