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.

Erich was quite the busy prisoner up here because he got involved [as a] medic. During that time . . . he mentioned they had some kind of epidemic here and so he had to help them give the shots out. He was involved in different classes, he took the English and he was the one who spoke quite well. -Eleanor Kososik |
