Image description

Eisenmayer, a 19-year-old Jewish refugee fleeing Nazi persecution, had just reached England after being released from Dachau concentration camp, where he had been imprisoned for repeated attempts to escape from Nazi-controlled Austria. Like many so-called ‘enemy aliens’, he was then interned on the Isle of Man. After Dachau, Eisenmeyer recalled that captivity in British hands was ‘at times, a bit of a lark’, with trips to the cinema, football matches, a choir and a camp ‘university’ offering art classes.
