Merci à franavia pour le document
La « Maison du prisonnier » était administrée par un ancien PG, ancien combattant de 1914-1918, Georges Lesage. Située rue Guilbert, elle comprenait, au rez-de-chaussée, un Comité central d'assistance aux PG, qui s'occupait principalement de la distribution de vivres pour la confection des colis individuels par des comités locaux. Huit mille colis par mois, entreposés rue des Cordeliers. Le directeur en était M. Corret, le secrétaire administratif, M. Watterwald.
Au premier étage, la Maison du prisonnier abritait le secrétariat du « Prisonnier libéré », dont l'objet principal était de renseigner les rapatriés, de les orienter et faciliter leurs démarches administratives ou juridiques. L'antenne de Caen était assurée par deux ex-PG, MM. Baudouin et Liévens, dont les compétences au service de ceux qui rentraient, dans des conditions parfois dramatiques, furent particulièrement précieuses.
Autre service particulièrement important : « La famille du prisonnier », organisme spécifique issu du Secours national dont l'objet était d'aider les épouses, les enfants ou les parents de PG. Elle était dirigée par Mme de Saint Germain, Mlle Morice, Mme Bladé.
La Maison du prisonnier abritait aussi la Croix-Rouge française. Cet organisme, vivant de ses propres ressources, ouvert aux familles des PG et aux rapatriés était animé par Mme de Vieil-Castel, Mlle Thomine-Desmazures.
Au second étage de la Maison du prisonnier se trouvait le secrétariat des Centres d'entraide, dirigé par M. Branquart, et la Direction générale.
Enfin, le Service du reclassement professionnel avait pour mission de régler le problème de la réintégration professionnelle. Problèmes délicats s'il en fut, en raison du manque de législation adaptée à l'époque.
MM. Schmitt et Blondel, de l'Inspection du Travail, dirigeaient ce service dont toutes les responsabilités, comme pour l'ensemble des autres services, étaient assumées par des rapatriés.

8 Camden Place, Bath. 24 April. Easter Sunday. 1859.
A very wet morning and an East wind. we were not able to go to Church, so had prayers at home, in the morning. and in the afternoon Sarah and I went to Christ Church, where Mr Wood gave a very good sermon, his text taken from the 118 Psalm 24 verse. We are to leave tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock for Swansea, I hope it will be a fine day.
Monday, 25 April. The Bryn.
Tuesday, 26th April. The Bryn.
We left Bath yesterday morning at ¼ past 10, Papa did not come with us, he is coming later. We got a carriage all to ourselves at Swindon, and were fortunate to keep it all the way to Landore.
Aunts Louisa and Dulcie were at the station to meet us, and Dulcie drove Mamma out in the pony carriage, and we all went out in a fly, with Aunt Henny and Aunt Louisa. We were much surprised to hear that Morton was at the Bryn, he is come for the wedding, and is going on Friday.
We had dinner at ½ past 6 – and after dinner Mr Webber, Miss Kitty and Felix, came over, and we had a game of commerce, which lasted such an immense long while that it was nearly 12 before it was over – we were dreadfully tired, and were not at all sorry to get to bed.
Today it rains – This morning, I did some italian in the Library. and this afternoon I sat in the drawing room and helped Aunt Louisa with some work. Morton spent the whole day at Singleton, & Aunt Caroline & Felix went to Swansea, so we were very quiet at home, and none of the Vivians came.
Wednesday 27th April.
It is dreadfully cold, and there is an East wind, we are in despair at having to put on such thin things tomorrow; I am afraid we shall catch cold. I hope we shall get back to Bath on Saturday. Aunt Dulcie has promised to drive me to the Mumbles this afternoon, I hope it will be fine enough to go, I should like it so much.
Capt. Crewe Read came here yesterday, but I did not see him to speak to, he is to be at the wedding tomorrow.
Thursday 28th April
Aunt Caroline is married and gone. The wedding was magnificent and everything went off very well indeed. The preparations began early this morning, and Capt Crewe Read was out here at day break, with his men and put up flags all about, and an arch over the gate, and made everything look so nice. I did not go down to breakfast, as I should have to dress again directly after, so I had breakfast in Mama’s room with Mama, At Henny and At Caroline. and after breakfast I put on my bridesmaid’s things, and got ready for the start.
I have just seen the most extraordinary thing
Call me naive
For a white middle class
middle aged man
like me
a
law abiding citizen
a payer
£90 a month of council tax
to maintain my borough
and its police
A young black guy
out with his friend
being ordered
by an officer
to drop his pants
in a London street
A stop and search in Grange Road,
Southwark,
1604
check the sheet
as I walk home
from the pub
The lads look like children
15 as written
and local to the area
polite and smart
and told me they were out
bored
after an Easter Sunday
at home
with mum
They are from Sierra Leone
Here in our town
my free town
some three years
on
The police
they say
came by
in a van
Pulled over
got out
Pockets were searched
PNC is checked
nothing known
Under pants inspected
(Times one)
Nothing found
And why
because terrorism trumps
Magna Carta?
Not so as
the docket says
This is a high crime area
My arse
Mr Swift
PC
If so
stop me
We have words for these kids
roundabouts
here
we call them
citizens
and sons
And the superintendent
in whose name it is done
at home
having Sunday roast
no doubt
Great job
my uniformed friends
Two more young black men
marginalised
and lost
And the funniest part
on a day
when
some remember
another wrongly accused
and hung
close to Gethsemane
You get a form 5090 (X)
when you are abused
and humiliated
like this
One lad puts it back
on the railings
and was told
allegedly
(I’m pleased to acknowledge the police have rights too)
he’d be arrested for littering
if he didn’t
pick it up
So the cop screwed it up
and throw it
into his van
This much
I saw
and I accuse
By Christ
I do

My mom pulled this out of thin air tonight. Things I like about it:
- The standard-issue indignant-kid surreality
- Youthful penmanship yields a bit to impatience by the end of the note.
- There's a beloved, graffiti-related family story about my sister's "signature" from that exact time period
Each week one to two million copies were dropped on enemy troops and the civil population in Japan.
The Rakkasan Nyuso (“Parachute News”) was published by the PWB from about March to August 1945. The 4 August 1945 paper above has the following news stories on the front side:
The full text of the Potsdam Proclamation; MacArthur plans the bombing of strategic sites in Japan; Three Japanese convoys sunk; The toll of Japanese dead and taken as prisoners in the Philippines; peace is now possible if the Japanese choose it.
En la antigua avenida del general franco y actual avenida de carabanchel alto, casi esquina con la calle guitarra, bueno, esquina por aquellos entonces, estaba el cine coral, un auténtico cine de barrio como dios manda, solo hay que echar un vistazo a la programación de Noviembre de 1982 para darse cuenta. Cuantas tardes pasadas con los amigos allí...

"The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

Hier der Brief vom 30. Januar 1945 an meine Mutter, soweit ich diesen Text heute von Sütterlin-Schrift in Latein-Schrift übertragen kann:
"Sehr geehrte Frau Tappen!
Als Hauptfeldwebel fällt mir die traurige und überaus schwere Pflicht zu, Ihnen in einer Angelegenheit zu schreiben, die für Sie schwerstes Leid und tiefste Bestürzung bedeutet.
Ihr Mann O.Gefr. Johannes Tappen ist seit dem 15. Januar 1945 in Compogne 3 1/2 km ostwärts Bertogne, Belgien, vermißt.
Ich darf Ihnen im Auftrag der Dienststelle und im Namen aller Kameraden mein tiefempfundenes Beileid ausdrücken.
Zu dem tragischen Vorgang kann ich Ihnen folgendes mitteilen:
Am 16. 1. 1945 griff der Amerikaner mit starken Kräften unsere Stellungen an. Nachdem es ihnen gelungen war, in die Stellungen einzubrechen, schloß er mit Panzerunterstützung einen Ring. Trotzdem unsere Abwehr sehr stark war, und der Gegner hohe Verluste an Tote und Verwundete einbüßte, behielt er für kurze Zeit die Stellungen. Bei der Überprüfung der Soldaten auf Vollzähligkeit wurde dann festgestellt, daß ihr Mann vermißt ist. Ich selbst nehme an, daß Ihr Mann in Gefangenschaft geraten ist.
Die Kompanie hat in Ihren Mann einen Soldaten verloren, der beliebt war und sich stets als guter Kamerad erwies. Alle Kameraden und ich werden ihm ein ehrendes Andenken " (dann weiter auf der Rückseite).

Club Okay mit neuem Leiter
An diesem Wochenende bekommt der "Club Okay" einen neuen Clubleiter. Hans-Michael Tappen wird von Wolfgang Hegner abgelöst. Hans-Michael, der den Club über ein Jahr leitete, hat durch seine Ideen und uneigennützige Initiative die Discothek zu einem beliebten Versammlungsort für die Jugend gemacht. Über 2000 Mitglieder sind eine stolze Bilanz. Auch die Anschaffung einer neuen Verstärkeranlage und der Wiederaufbau nach dem Einbruch zu Neujahr sind auf seine Enegie zurückzuführen. Sine lustigen Einfälle, wie die Wahl von "Miss und Mister Club Okay" und die Fahrt zum Musical Hair, sicherten ihm die Sympathie der jungen Gäste. Wolfgang Hegner aber wird sich als geeigneter Nachfolger erweisen.

Club Okay with new manager
This weekend, Club Okay will have a new club manager. Hans-Michael Tappen will be replaced by Wolfgang Hegner. Hans-Michael, who managed the club for over a year, turned the discotheque into a popular meeting place for young people thanks to his ideas and selfless initiative. Over 2,000 members is an impressive achievement. The purchase of a new amplifier system and the reconstruction after the break-in on New Year's Eve are also thanks to his energy. His fun ideas, such as the election of “Miss and Mister Club Okay” and the trip to the musical Hair, ensured him the sympathy of the young guests. Wolfgang Hegner, however, will prove to be a suitable successor.
