Biographie / Histoire administrative

Eric (Otto) Koch, broadcaster, author, born in 1919 at Frankfurt am Mein, was studying in England when he was interned as an enemy alien in May 1940. In July of the same year he was shipped to Canada. He remained in internment until November, 1941. Upon his release he entered post-graduate studies in Law at the University of Toronto and graduated in the spring of 1943. After a short career as school-teacher and journalist he started work with the C.B.C., in December of 1944. Here he worked with the International Service and in Public Affairs broadcasting. In addition, Koch wrote some twenty television dramas, a number of novels as well as books of a historical nature. His book Deemed Suspect examines the experiences of the mainly Jewish enemy alien internees that Britain sent to Canada at the beginning of the war.
