008_POW Camp Art Work I |
| Description |
A collection of photographs and oral history quotes that document the history of the Prisoner of War camp at Defense Depot Ogden that opened in 1943 and closed in 1946. The oral histories were conducted with widows of German and Italian POWs, former guards, and community members that worked with the POWs. |

When I rode around the open storage areas one time, I could hear a noise. So I snuck back through and I found a POW back there making rings out of bolts and nuts. He was making beautiful things when he should have been out working. So I made him stop that and get back to work. -Gene and Allie Lawler |
