Descrizione
Martine F. Auger's exploration of the internment of German POWs and enemy aliens during the Second World War sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Canadian history. Concentrating on Southern Quebec from 1940 to 1946, the narrative unveils the intricate organization of internment operations, revealing the societal and governmental attitudes towards those deemed a threat within Canada's borders. Through meticulous research, Auger captures the dynamics of wartime anxiety that propelled these actions, painting a vivid picture of an era marked by conflict and suspicion.
The book also delves into the daily lives of those interned—describing their struggles, adaptation, and resilience in the face of hardship. By humanizing these individuals, Auger highlights the complex emotions and relationships that developed within the camps, challenging readers to reconsider the traditional narratives of war and enemies. This work promises to be an insightful addition to the understanding of Canadian military history and the impact of war on society.
