One of the accomplishments of the internment program is that they made my grandfather - who had never before prepared a meal - into a cook for 20 people. His relief at getting out of Vienna was so strong that he said he never resented being interned on the Isle of Man.
WOW! Just, WOW! I had no idea that such an amazing group of German/Austrian artists all existed together in such a terrible situation! Absolutely fascinating and inspiring. Many, many thanks to FAS and Simon Parkin for dedicating himself to this story and bringing it to life. Mainly, for giving voice to this experience. Thank you!
