Whilst Ruby's internment is restrictive, it is nowhere near as horrific, squalid and dangerous as that endured by her brothers; yet she knows that it is she who deserves to be severely punished, not them. So why is she being treated so comparatively leniently? Why hasn't she been tried, sentenced and possibly executed. She will have to wait years for the answer. "Barbed-wire, Barricades and Miss Becker" is based on a true story and explores the injustice of blanket wartime internment as well the appalling conditions that many innocent people had to endure. It is also a story about love, sacrifice and incompetence. Above all it is a story about survival.
