Quote :

"The prisoners at this camp were treated with a reasonable amount of dignity and their biggest enemy soon became boredom. Some made models, while others painted or sculpted. After hearing a fellow prisoner whistling one day, Cline decided to build himself a violin, an instrument he played as a child."
