| 2 Dec 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 03 Aug 2012 12:46 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Thu, 2 Dec 1943 Late in the afternoon Emily Hahn is finally allowed to leave the Grispsholm. The only person left to meet her is a friend of her brother-in-law, who drives her to her sister Helen's downtown apartment where she's reunited with Carola, who'd been taken home by Helen when she began to cry uncontrollably during Hahn's interrogation.
The Canadian train arrives in Montreal. Two-Gun Cohen allows a Paramount newsreel reporter to interview him briefly but refuses to say anything about conditions in Stanley 'because any remark may influence the situation of people who are still prisoners'. Sources: Hahn: Ken Cuthberston, Nobody Said Not To Go, 1998, 279-280 Cohen: Daniel S. Levy, Two-Gun Cohen: An Autobiography, 1997, Kindle Edition, Location, 5583  |
