Who was interned in Britain during world war ii?

During World War II, Britain interned thousands of individuals, primarily those deemed to be enemy aliens, including German, Austrian, and Italian nationals. Many of these individuals were Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in their home countries. The internment was often conducted without trial, leading to significant controversy and debate regarding civil liberties and the treatment of those displaced by war. Additionally, some British citizens of German descent were also interned due to fears of espionage or sabotage.
