Walter Igersheimer's memoir exposes this bleak period in the British and Canadian war record. After escaping from Nazi Germany with his family, Igersheimer was completing his medical studies when he was caught in the panic that led to the internment of 30,000 German and Italian citizens living in Britain. They were placed behind barbed wire and treated as enemies. Many of the Jewish refugees were then sent to prisons in Canada, but the internees did not let the authorities crush their creativity or desire for an education: they started a free university, mounted plays, and wrote musicals. Laced with black humour, Blatant Injustice is a story of resilience and determination. A refugee from Nazi Germany, Walter W. Igersheimer (1917-2012) survived internment camps in Britain and Canada. After studying at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School (London) and Tufts University, he became a distinguished clinical professor of psychiatry at Yale University noted for his pioneering work in group therapy. Ian Darragh is a former editor-in-chief of Canadian Geographic magazine. His writing has been published in National Geographic and Spacing magazines.
