Ep 6: Return to Biberach - A Lasting Legacy of Internment

Ep 6: Return to Biberach - A Lasting Legacy of Internment

Durée : 26:26
Lecture
⚡ Having escaped Biberach 67 years before, in 2012, the Guernsey Deportees decided to go back. Despite decades passing, the events that unfolded in Germany have caused a ripple effect throughout their lives - impacting them both emotionally and physically. So what drew them back to Germany, to visit the camp where they’d once been interned?
💡 In 1942, during World War 2, Hitler ordered the deportation of more than 1000 islanders from Guernsey. Jill Chubb was just 3 years old when she set sail, but her memories are vivid and clear. And in this special podcast series, her grandson, former BBC Guernsey presenter Ollie Guillou, charts her story - joined by three other deportees and two prominent historians.
🔎 This sixth episode explores Jill’s emotional return to Biberach - now a police training academy - and the transformational reception the Deportees received from the locals during their stay. Hear about the lasting impact of the camp on the deportees - some who suffered throughout their lives, and others who sought compensation for what happened. And discover why it’s so vital that these stories are remembered and passed down through the generations.

Description

A little-known story of wartime resilience. Hear the stories of the last remaining Guernsey deportees. 80 years ago a group of Channel islanders were forced to abandon their homes during WW2, and were sent on Hitler’s orders to Biberach interment camp. Ollie Guillou speaks to his Grandma about the 3 long years she spent in the camp. He’s also joined by three other deportees and two historians, who help chart the life-altering journey these Guernsey people went on, all those years ago.
