**This is a bonus episode. If you've not tuned in before, I recommend you start at Episode 1**⚡ Arthur Henry Davey was a librarian at the Guille-Allès Library in Guernsey when the deportation order came through. Despite spending just a short amount of his early life in the UK, he was added to the list of those who were later sent to Biberach internment camp.
💡 In this special bonus episode of the podcast, we learn about Arthur’s fascinating story - how he ended up setting up a ‘camp library’, and how the Library’s Board of Management decided to bank his salary while he was gone so it would be there when he returned.
🔎 Arthur’s story is part of an exhibition about the deportation, on display at the Guille-Allès Library. Open until 23rd June 2025.
⚙️ With special thanks to Adam Bayfield, Head of Marketing and Customer Services at the Guille Allez Library.
