Prisoners Almost Outnumbered Citizens

Camp 133, Lethbridge's Second World War Prisoner of War Camp, was a city unto itself. Designed to hold 12,500 prisoners, the camp at one time housed over 13,000 men. Considering the population of Lethbridge at the time was just under 15,000, the camp had a profound effect during its short four years of operation. Lethbridge historian, Georgia Green Fooks, will speak on Camp 133 and the relationship of the camp to the people of southern Alberta.

Georgia Green Fooks is a native of Lethbridge and a daughter and granddaughter of southern Alberta pioneers. Fooks is a retired communications arts instructor from Lethbridge Community College where she taught from 1970 to 1993. She has been researching and writing about southern Alberta history for many years and her works include seven histories of the region. Since her retirement, she has presented more than 200 history and craft shows on community television. She has also served as Chairman of the Fort Whoop-Up Interpretive Society, chaired the first autonomous board of the Sir Alexander Galt Museum & Archives and served on the Friends Board of the same institution.
