A Story is Told: Internment - Truth, Memory and Reconciliation edited by Mary Cabrini Fontana

Harvey Internment Camp No. 11 was established in September 1940 in response to Italy joining Germany in WWII. Many Italian men living and working in Western Australia were rounded up and interned. The men were housed in rapidly built accommodation on a landholding outside the town of Harvey.

800 civil internees, 123 German POWs from the Kormoran and 18 Italian POWs from the Remo were housed at the camp.

The camp was closed in April 1942 when the WA coastline was under threat from the Japanese as the strong lights in the camp posed a security threat. (Shire of Harvey Municipal Heritage Inventory)

This booklet includes a list of those interned and interviews with several internees.
