During the first world war more than 3,000 civilians were interned at a ‘concentration camp’ at Alexandra Palace in north London. Many of these prisoners had English wives and children and owned businesses in Britain. Most had either been born in England or left Germany as children, and spoke no German. Only their passports made them ‘enemy aliens’.
In their own words, in paintings and in poems, this is their story.
