was sold in Ogden, to purchase more art supplies, or later featured in Geneva in 1945 as part of the International Exhibit of Prisoner of War Art work. Actors, dancers, vaudeville artists and singers were all a part of the unique diversity of the camp. A famous professional soloist, a pianist who toured the world, a German mayor, scientists, engineers and others of like achievement each made the population more distinct. Even education was provided. Elective courses in English History, Stenography, Accounting, Mathematics, Harmony, Music theory, Art and Commercial art were all taught. For the most part, the classes were taught by fellow prisoners. Although there were provisions for 650 students at a time, there was a waiting list of some 300 more. Since many prisoners arrived in ill health, a hospital capable of treating 5,000 was constructed and staffed by both Americans and Germans. The Mongols who arrived at the camp were so culturally different from anyone else that doctors were unable to detect what their medical problems were and they went untreated. At holidays the prisoners were allowed extra rations and time off. The USO would provide entertainment and their own expert chefs, pastry makers and cooks provided veritable feasts. An Austrian, interned two years as a German POW at the Utah ASF Depot, wrote this New Year's greeting from Austria, printed in the Ogden Standard Examiner December 24, 1946; "America did a lot into preventing us from starvation. Life in Austria isn't cheerful at all. Now we former POWS live on the nice memories from over there and nobody can forget that time. America is grand and can be proud of herself. Every POW will keep her in his best memories. God save our nations, the big great America and our poor and small Austria."
