About this Event
The story weaves the UK's politely forgotten WWII policy of internment of civilian enemy aliens, the destiny of the SS Arandora Star, and the top-secret Operation Colossus into a tale of camaraderie, choices, and consequences. It is based upon a series of true episodes & real characters and is very pertinent to Scotland since more than 100 families across Scotland lost a family member on the Arandora Star including a dozen families from Ayr.
There were thousands of men interned including some families that subsequently became quite well known.
Find out why writers such as Alistair Maclean in the 1960's to Andrew O'Hagan in 2000's and now Lawrence Battersby in 2023 have been inspired by this story.
