Great Escapes: Remarkable Second World War Captives | Exhibition tour

Discover our latest exhibition, Great Escapes: Remarkable Second World War Captives with curator Will Butler.
During the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of people were held in captivity. Service personnel captured in conflict became prisoners of war, and civilians were confined in internment camps. Nearly all sought some kind of escape, from successfully breaking out of camps to finding solace in setting up theatre performances, writing to loved ones, secretly producing artworks, and falling in love.
Great Escapes tells the remarkable stories behind these acts of resistance and resilience of people from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth who fell into enemy hands, and of people imprisoned by the British.

Thank you for such an informative video. An eye-opening consideration of some of the awful impact of the Second World War. Moving to hear the personal stories especially the ways some were able to find a way to escape not by physically leaving but by writing, acting, singing and building relationships with fellow captives/internees. Appreciate National Archives providing so much material online as I am unable to travel to Kew, thank you again.
