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.

A later time we came back and worked right side by side with the prisoners. . . . I remember we were there first and then the bus came. It had quite a few on it. Five to six of them got off and they unloaded their food and stuff, drink and coffee, I think. I could remember unloading their stuff and right behind the bus was a jeep and in the jeep was GIs and one of them got off. Then the GI would stay there and the prisoners would go do what we were doing. -Jack Mecham |
