Description
Time Stood Still by Paul Cohen-Portheim In the midst of World War I, Paul Cohen-Portheim found himself interned in England as an enemy alien. Despite the initial levity of his situation, he recounts the harsh realities of life in a "gentleman's camp" with humour, compassion, and deep insight. Cohen-Portheim's experiences challenge the notion that even under the most restrictive conditions, the human spirit can find ways to endure. For Cohen-Portheim, the absence of purpose and structure was a form of torture. He argues that internment, with its lack of aim and sense, is inherently dehumanizing. This powerful and balanced account is a passionate argument against the injustices of internment, and a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience. A thought-provoking and deeply personal account, Time Stood Still offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
