Description:
Methuen, 1980. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. In the spring of 1940, Eric Koch was a law student in London. By autumn, he was being held behind barbed wire in Quebec. Koch was arrested as an enemy alien by the British government and sent to a prison camp in Canada; but he and hundreds of other "dangerous Nazi" prisoners were really refugees--most of them young and Jewish, themselves fleeing from Hitler. In this book Koch recounts the struggles and joys of his Canadian internment, the relief at being spared the horrors of Nazi-occupied Europe, the bitter irony of being confined as a German enemy. Written with a rare blend of honesty, humour and warmth, Deemed Suspect vividly recreates life in Canada's prison camps during World War Two.

Description:
Toronto: Metheun, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. First printing. Hardcover. xv+ 272 pp. Illustrated Fine in very good dust jacket. In the spring of 1940 when Nazi forces had swept through Europe and were poised to strike at England's shores, the British government ordered the internment of all enemy aliens, including those who had just escaped from Hitler's grip, and prepared to deport them to Canada. They were put aboard prison ships and arried in Quebec City in the summer of 1940. The Canadians were perpared to receive dangerous prisons of war but instead got a motley crew of teenaged students, rabbis and priests. The author, himself one of the detainees, provides a colorful account of life in the various Canadian internment camps and the struggles by inmates and a group of dedicated Canadians on the outside to help them gain freedom.
