Dear All,

With the current talk of PoW Camps, sexism and agism in the US tv
industry, Hitler's aversion to cats, I'd like to ask a question that's
been lurking in the back of my mind for a bit:

There's lots of archaeological evidence, and study of evidence, of
conflict and difference.  Has anyone done any work looking at the
archaeology of tolerance?

On PoW camps - stretching into comparable / contrasting areas: the Rural
Life Centre at Tilford (Surrey) and (I think) the Atlantic Wall group
which is associated with it has been doing some research into a local
Displaced Persons camp (previously a pre-Invasion camp). Woking
Galleries and English Heritage are working on camps, hospitals, burial
grounds, etc. connected with what might loosely be called 'non-White
military services'.  I think that Manx Heritage has done some work on
internment camps on the Isle of Mann.

With best wishes to all,

Pat
