Collection of photographs taken by Austrian photographer Theodor Kofler in the British detention camps Sidi Bishr and Ras-al-Tin near Alexandria, where they held citizens of enemy countries during the war. The photographs show the daily life of the prisoners, including sporting events, visits, Shanah Tovah cards and more, and including a large group picture of the detainees in Camp A. The prisoners are German, Austrian and Turkish; Kofler himself is a prisoner in the camp. There are many Jews among the detainees, which can be seen from the many Jewish names in the group picture. The lot also includes scans of Red Cross documents including the full names of some of the detainees. Some are undoubtedly Jewish, with family names such as Cohen, Levi, Migdalsky; Avraham Ya’akov Sapir, Samuel Goldstein; and regarding some of the others, we have information about their being Jewish – Franz and Max Strauss, Oscar Horowitz, and Dr. Sabrin Finxfeld.
