Jew Refugees Interned with Nazis

«VANCOUVER, Canada — When Austrian and German Jews escaped Nazism by fleeing to Britain during the 1930s, the last thing they expected was to find themselves prisoners in Canada, interned in camps with some of the same Nazis they had tried to escape back home.

But that's what happened to some 7,000 European Jews and "Category A" prisoners — the most dangerous prisoners of war — who arrived on Canadian shores in 1940. »
