The objective of this publication is to raise critical awareness among secondary school students about the largely unknown story of Canada’s First National Internment Operations during the First World War era. The omission until very recently of the internment of thousands of Ukrainian, Bulgarians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Jews, various people from the Ottoman Empire, Polish, Romanians, Russians, Serbians, Slovaks, Slovenes, among others, between 1914 and 1920, has left a gap in our understanding of Canada’s history.
