A POW Studies in a Prison Camp at Austria-Hungary

Description:

A prisoner of war works in an Association library in an unidentified Austrian prison camp. Books and journal articles provided critical mental diversions for men incarcerated behind barbed-wire. Reading was not only a pastime; prisoners could read about technical and professional issues to improve their employment opportunities after the war and better support their families.
