Description
"Orgelsdorfer Eulenspiegel" was a literary magazine written, illustrated, printed, and distributed by German and German-American prisoners interned at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, during and after World War I. Magazine content includes original and familiar poems, letters, stories, commentary, humor, announcements and reviews of camp events and performances, and colored woodcut illustrations depicting camp life and portraits of prisoners. Portrait subjects include Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Karl Muck, geneticist Richard Goldschmidt, writer Hanns Heinz Ewers, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conductor Ernst Kunwald, and physicist Jonathan Zenneck. Early issues reference the impact of the Influenza Epidemic of 1918 (the "Spanish Flu") on the camp. English translations were created by Helen Groh and Daniela Gunthe. Groh and Gunth prioritized translating articles that described camp life. Some of the stories were not translated due to the difficulty of the older German language.
