0.16 metres of textual material (1 box) – manuscript, typescript Kitzinger’s papers include letters, mostly draft, written to his family, Susan Theobald whom he married in 1944; colleagues at the British Museum; and Arthur Hays Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times and his wife, Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger. Also included are drafts of articles written and edited for the Hay camp magazine; lists of internees; a table of supplies received and distributed at the camp; a copy of The Boomerang Camp 7 magazine; programs for the Debating Society and various theatrical productions, recitals, concerts, and reviews; a print by Ludwig Hirschfield-Mack of Hay camp; and a print by George Teltscher for a theatre program. The papers provide first-hand accounts of life in the camp and interactions between internees and camp authorities. Kitzinger documents the conditions, arrangements and options for internees following their release from the camp. He describes the difficulties between the mostly German internees and the British and Australian officers in the camp at Liverpool (NSW), and on the return journey on board the Themistocles.
