A Critical History of Education in Guernsey under German Occupation
2nd July, 2010This work was written for publication in 1947, and presented in typescript, but it was not published then and is now seen for the first time.
Although it was aimed at those with a special interest in education, it is full of gripping detail and amply conveys the atmosphere of the war years. To create a comprehensive picture of the subject, Mr Hayes interviewed many people who had been in positions of authority, including the Bailiff of Guernsey, and gained access to official data and statistics. We are left with a sense of “Guernsey seeming to have dropped out of life, to have moved in time and space, back down the centuries to some lonely uncharted ocean, so depressed was the standard of living and so complete the isolation.”
