Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of providing charitable assistance to captive Ukrainians from the Rastatt camp (Germany), as well as the specifics of the charitable activities of the camps. The prisoners Ukrainians have often acted as donors, raising funds for different national needs, for patients in the camp infirmary and so on. However, the prisoners did not refuse assistance to the Germans themselves – donating money to the German orphans of war and to the needs of the German Red Cross. Numerous donations have been made to build a monument that forever etched in stone the memory of the deceased Ukrainians. The prisoners, in turn, received charitable assistance from international and national Red Cross organizations, which had never been of a regular nature. Considering the scarcity of the camp rations and the quality of the food, the quality of the food is not always sufficient; the prisoners had some hopes of receiving charitable help. She was especially needed by patients from the camp hospital as well as prisoners with disabilities. The distribution of charitable assistance in Rastatt was carried out by the Central Committee, which was composed of elected representatives of prisoners.
