Japanese Canadian internment in the Second World War

Hickman, Pamela M.


An illustrated history of the wartime internment of Japanese Canadian residents of British Columbia. At the time when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Japanese Canadians numbered well over 20,000. From the first arrivals in the late nineteenth century, they had taken up work in many parts of BC, established communities, and become part of the Canadian society even though they faced racism and prejudice in many forms. With war came wartime hysteria. Japanese Canadian residents of BC were rounded up, their homes and property seized, and forced to move to internment camps with inadequate housing, water, and food. Men and older boys went to road camps while some families ended up on farms where they were essentially slave labour. Eventually, after years of pressure, the Canadian government admitted that the internment was wrong and apologized for it. This book uses a wide range of historical photographs, documents, and images of museum artefacts to tell the story of the internment. The impact of these events is underscored by first-person narrative from five Japanese Canadians who were themselves youths at the time their families were forced to move to the camps.

Anti-Semitism and the MS St. Louis : Canada's anti-Semitic immigration policies in the twentieth century

Arato, Rona,


Prior to World War II, Canada’s Jewish community was well established, particularly in Toronto and Montreal. As the war grew closer, reports of anti-Semitism across Europe were increasing. In the 1930s, Hitler’s Nazis were spreading hatred and violence towards Jews across Germany. At first, Jews were allowed to leave Germany and thousands escaped to save themselves and their families. Towards the end of the decade, countries around the world, including Canada, closed their doors to Jewish refugees. In 1939, the MS St. Louis sailed for Cuba with nearly a thousand Jewish men, women, and children looking for safety. They were turned away by Cuba, the USA, and Canada before they were sent back to Europe where over 250 of them were murdered. Despite pleas from the Canadian Jewish community, the government refused to allow more Jewish refugees into the country. When Britain forced Canada to take some of their refugees, Canada imprisoned them in internment camps alongside Nazis. Some of the refugees were only teenagers. After the war, it took three years for Canada to change its immigration policies and begin to accept equal numbers of Jews with other immigrants. Canada’s long history of anti-Semitic immigration policies was deemed shameful. In November, 2018, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an official apology to the Jewish Community for Canada’s refusal to accept the passengers of the MS St. Louis, as well as its historical anti-Semitic policies.
