The German-Jewish Interpreter
Prisoner of War
An interpreter's story
The museum collection records the experience of a German-Jewish interpreter connected with Cultybraggan. His work placed language, identity and military service at the centre of daily encounters in the camp.
Interpreting the record
This story should be told through the surviving photographs, documents and testimony attached to it. The evidence can help visitors consider who was able to speak, who was heard and how an interpreter's own history shaped the role.
Further biographical detail will be added only where it can be supported and attributed.
