Abstract

Management behind Barbed Wire. The Organisation of Internment Life through the Eyes of Hans Gál

The following bachelor thesis analyses the diary of Viennese/Jewish composer Hans Gál, who was interned in the UK in 1940 as an “enemy alien”. He was sent to three different camps and describes his life there. The diary is used to describe the management in these camps, how the internee’s situation changed as they moved in between camps, which similarities were there and how could internees make room for personal freedom.
