Organized by: Ian Darragh — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/105461441401
Author Ian Darragh talks about the harrowing experiences of Jewish refugees imprisoned in Canada during WW II.
Learn about a little-known episode in Canadian history. During World War II, Jewish refugees to Canada, including boys as young as 16, were treated as enemies and imprisoned in internment camps in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Yet the internees did not let the authorities crush their spirit. Blatant Injustice is a story of resilience and determination.
