Huyton Internment Camp 1940-1945 One of three internment camps across the UK, Huyton was opened in 1940 to hold Germans, Austrians and Italians suspected of being spies and saboteurs. The camp was sited in a Huyton council estate on the outskirts of Liverpool. It was formed around several streets of empty council houses, and surrounded by eight-foot barbed wire fences. The original plan had been to hold internees there until they could be deported to the Isle of Man. Some internees were Nazi supporters, but many were Jewish, left wing and anti-fascist refugees who had fled mainland Europe to escape Nazi persecution. Many had children in the British forces, and themselves had fought for the Allies during the First World War. The large number of artistic and academic refugees in the camp kept themselves occupied by lecturing and performing. These included the artist Hugo Dachinger whose work is featured in this video. As a result the camp became known as Huyton University. Tags: Huyton Internment Liverpool Dachinger war REM |
