Henri Tajfel
French Army
Henri Tajfel volunteered for the French army in 1940 (we think). He was a Polish Jew, living in Paris at the time (known then as Hersz Tajfel). He later became a famous social psychologist whose biography I am writing.
In this picture, taken at Stalag XVIIIC, Markt Pongau, Austria, he is second from the right, next to the man in the white shirt. He was also imprisoned in Stalag VIIIA
I would love to hear from any relatives of other prisoners from Stalag XVIIIC, whether French or other nationality, who might have known Henri or who have diaries or other accounts of camp life.
