‘The Stories Were Not Told: Canada’s First World War Internment Camps’ author Sandra Semchuk

From 1914 to 1920, thousands of men who immigrated to Canada from Europe were called ‘enemy aliens’ and sent to internment camps during the First World War. Some families were imprisoned as well. Sandra Semchuk explores that dark period in our history in her new book, ‘The Stories Were Not Told: Canada’s First World War Internment Camps’ — inspired by a stop at Castle Mountain near Banff. Sandra joined host Doug Dirks in studio.
