4.9/5 (33965 ratings)

Description:In August 1914 war broke out across Europe. Within months hundreds of men - 'enemy aliens' - were interned on Torrens Island, in the Port River estuary near Adelaide. Sailors taken off enemy ships, foreign nationals living in South Australia, and even some naturalised British subjects found themselves behind barbed wire.Wartime censorship meant people outside knew next to nothing about internment or life in the camp. The camp commandant's brutal behaviour was revealed only years later.Today, the observations of two internees survive in the diaries of professional boxer Frank Bungardy and the compelling photographs of Paul Dubotzki. These extraordinary sources, brought together in Interned, tell the little-known story of South Australia's 'enemy within' - a story as timely now as it has ever been.Peter Monteath teaches history at Flinders University and writes about modern Australian and European history. He has a particular interest in German history and how over the last two centuries it has intersected with Australia. Wakefield Press published his collection of essays Germans: Travellers, Settlers and Their Descendants in South Australia in 2011.Mandy Paul is Senior Curator, Exhibitions, Collections and Research at History SA. She has published on aspects of Australian cultural history, South Australian Aboriginal history and the intersection of history and law in native title practice, and is particularly interested in Indigenous history and South Australian social history. Her most recent exhibition is: Interned: Torrens Island, 1914-1915.Rebecca Martin completed a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in history) and Laws (Hons) with a Diploma of Languages in German at the University of Adelaide in 2013.
