Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Visit to Ruhleben It is with a very deep sense of responsibility that I venture to give the following pages to the public. I feel responsible to our own authorities, with whose full approval and good wishes I went to Germany; to the German authorities, who, unasked, gave me what I shall always consider a priceless opportunity of visiting my interned and imprisoned fellow countrymen; but, most of all, I feel responsible to the men themselves who gave me so fully their affectionate confidence, and are entirely trusting me, I know so well, to give a true description of the conditions under which they have been living so long and are to continue for an indefinite time. Hardly a day passes without a parent sending me a copy of some part of a letter which has been received from a son in which such words as the following occur: "I hope you will get to see the bishop soon after his return, for there is nobody I would trust more to give you a real and true account of our lives here"; or, as in the last received - "There is one thing I feel confident about, and that is that everything he says about us will be absolutely true; so, if you can get hold of any information from his hand, you may be perfectly certain it is the truth."
