hatred for American propaganda. One of the biggest problems facing these education programs was the lack of books available in the prisoners’ native languages, but many of the prisoners did speak English. Entertainment and recreation The camps held organized sporting and recreational activities. Camp Ogden had a 30 piece orchestra which would play weekly concerts around the area. Those in military installation camps generally had more activities available to them than those at agricultural camps. Attitudes and Morale Prisoners Morale was generally high, and prisoners received good treatment. At Bushnell General Hospital in Brigham City, it was noted that security was "often only one guard with a shotgun," yet there were no problems with prisoners escaping. Following the surrender of Italy in 1943, Italian prisoners were given privileges such as weekend leave if they signed the “Italian Service Unit parole agreement.” Because of this, many Italian prisoners were actually able to travel to nearby towns and even date American girls. German prisoners did not intermingle with the civilian populations as much. One camp with morale issues was Fort Douglas. It is thought that this is largely because Fort Douglas was where prisoners with “subversive tendencies” were sent. Community Response Members of the communities near and around the camps were generally curious about the prisoners. At first, communities tended to be frightened, if not just curious, about the prisoners, but as the war went on and they grew grateful for the labor that they provided, relationships began to form. Although it was not officially allowed by the military, many community members grew close to some of the prisoners and friendships (and even some romances) formed between the two groups. German community members in Utah who were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints made arrangements for missionary work to be done among the prisoners on behalf of the LDS church. During the war, Utah had particularly harsh relations with Japanese Americans, with Japanese Americans interned at camps throughout Utah, such as Camp Delta, and Japanese and Japanese Americans experienced persecution in Utah throughout the war. There were organized efforts to prevent Japanese Americans from buying land in Utah. In addition, Native Americans participated in war labor alongside POWs. The population of African Americans in Utah grew during WWII, but, just as in many other parts of the country at the time, they experienced significant discrimination in Utah. Ironically,
