Forced Internment in Britain

From the Dec. 31, 2012, Boing Boing.

Most people are aware of the internment of Japanese-Americans during the war.  There was even Japanese-Canadian internment in that country, but the British government rounded up persons of German, Austrian and Italian descent as well.

Some were put into camps and others deported of Canada and Australia.  Others were labeled as potential enemies and heavily spied upon.

Sadly, many were Jewish refugees who had fled to Britain for safety to avoid Nazi persecution.
