Internment in the Isle of Man in World War 2

Internment in the Isle of Man in World War 2

Who were the “enemy aliens” interned by the British Government on the Isle of Man during World War II? What threat were they believed to pose?

Discover the stories of the men, women, and children who were detained — why they were held, the conditions they lived under, and how they spent their time in work and leisure. We’ll also follow their journeys after the war and learn how the Isle of Man’s economy recovered in the post-war era.

An adult learning class from one of CLL’s satellite facilities, the Carnegie Library in Ayr.
