Julia Pascal: Our hidden history

Sixty years after the deportation of Britons from the Channel Islands, the suffering is neither acknowledged nor compensated. In one of the most shameful episodes in British history, more than 2,000 British subjects were deported from the Channel Islands to Nazi-controlled France and Germany. Sixty years on they are still waiting for compensation, yet today all they hear is a deafening silence.

Ian Sharwood. I am travelling to Guernsey from the UK for a holiday with my family next August. This will almost certainly colour my picture of the older folk there.

It will be my intention to write to my MP and ask why these files have not been made public. I am a keen war time historian and was aware of collaboration and the use of Alderney as a concentration camp but this sheds new light on the subject.		 6/2/2007
Malcolm Petrook I don't see how Britain can point a finger at Vichy France when Britons were collaborating in the Channel Isles. It is disgraceful that, even 60 years later, Britain remains silent about its wartime crime. 1/28/2005
