Interned On The Aisle Of Man
I found this amazing letter to my dad from 1940.
He was interned during the war as a child with his mother in the Rushen Internment Camp on the Aisle of Man, a possession of Britain.
My father was only 12 years old, but already worked as a messenger for the camp Superintendent.
Here is probably one of his first letters of recommendation for a job very well done.
"On His Majesty's Service"
How incredibly awesome for a child during World War II and the Holocaust.
Love you Dad!
