052_POW Camp IV |
| 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. |

I attended Wahlquist Junior High when I was thirteen, in 1943. It was a new school right across from the Depot on Second Street. We would see the Italian POWs before and after school, and if we went outside we would see them during breaks. . . .They would be outside working in the gardens or exercising. They would call to us with the few words of English they had learned, and they would sing to us across the fence. They made us little trinkets - bracelets and things - from empty soda pop cans. They prized our friendship, and we certainly prized theirs. -Marilou Sorensen |
