BIOGRAPHY: Holzminden Internment Camp was a large World War I detention camp (Internierungslager) located to the north-east of Holzminden, Lower Saxony, Germany, which existed from 1914 to 1918. It held civilian internees from allied nations. It was the largest internment camp in Germany holding 4,240 civilians between 1914-1918.
The camp contained approximately 120 huts, and was surrounded by a perimeter fence dominated by watchtowers. It was made up of two compounds, one for men, and one for about 500 women and children. During the day, the women and children were allowed to enter the main compound.
Although conditions in the camp were restricted, inmates were able to receive mail and food parcels. They developed their own communal facilities, including a \"university\", chapels, a school for the children, a café, and even a photographic studio (from which these photos originate). Theatrical performances and concerts were held. There is even a photo in this lot that shows a sports marathon that was organized by the inmates.
