Correspondence with Johnson, Peter

Wolfgang Josephs (later Peter Johnson), a German Jew from Berlin, came to Great Britain in July 1933. He was interned as an enemy alien at the outbreak of war and later transported on the 'Dunera' to Hay Internment Camp, Australia. On his return to Great Britain in 1941 he enlisted in the Pioneers Corps, serving as military interpreter for the British occupying forces in Germany from May 1945 to October 1946. Whilst there he also took an interest in the returnees from concentration camps, arranging correspondence between them and their families all over the world.
