"Owning a calendar was worth its weight in gold. It could mean life and death. When some one became sick, they wanted to check the mental health and often asked what the date was. If you couldn’t answer, you were often sorted out. Having a calendar helped you keep in touch with normal life, because the days at the camp all blended together, but with the help of the calendar you could keep them apart."
