Nazi Prisons in Britain is a ground-breaking book - a systematic
study of Jersey and Guernsey prisons during the German occupation
of the Channel Islands based on the experiences of the prisoners.
It brings to light for the first time the surviving sources -
memoirs, diaries, official archival material, poetry, graffiti,
autograph books, letters and material culture are all included.
This dazzling array of evidence reveals the reality of life behind
bars in Nazi prisons on British territory. Gilly Carr's powerful
book shines a light into political prisoner consciousness and
solidarity, and shows how they resisted the regime with the limited
tools at their disposal. It gives a fascinating insight into how
the experience varied according to age, sex, class, and seriousness
of offence. The text is enlivened by the words of notorious wartime
criminals, including Eddie Chapman - Agent Zigzag - and the traitor
Eric Pleasants, who later joined the SS. Also featured are the
letters of the Jersey 21', who later died in concentration camps,
those of surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore,
condemned to death for their resistance activities, and the lost
prison diaries of Frank Falla, Guernsey's best known resister.
