Chosen for its remote rural New Brunswick location, Camp B interned hundreds who were deemed by the Canadian government to be enemy sympathizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first year of its operation, the camp incarcerated German and Austrian Jewish refugees dispatched from Britain. In May 1940, fearful that the refugees were agents of the Nazis they'd fled, the British government sent thousands of men to Canada to be interned as \"dangerous enemy sympathizers.\" After the refugees were finally released in 1941, Camp B held Canadian citizens who were suspected of opposing the war effort -- including the prominent opponent of conscription and Mayor of Montreal Camillien Houde, Canadians of German and Italian descent, and homegrown fascists such as Adrien Arcand -- as well as captured German and Italian merchant mariners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this comprehensive illustrated account of Camp B, Andrew Theobald examines the daily lives and tribulations of those imprisoned behind the barbed wire. \u003ci\u003e\"Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers\"\u003c\/i\u003e also scrutinizes the troubling context that led to the internment of both refugees and Canadian citizens, the debates over the ethics of internment inside and outside the camp, and the role of the camps in shaping government policy towards immigration and the post-war powers of the Canadian state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Dangerous Enemy Sympathizers\"\u003c\/i\u003e is volume 26 of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Theobald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773101242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773101248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Goose Lane Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.60w x 0.40d","brand":"Andrew Theobald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44584104198399,"sku":"9781773101248","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c728069a-8a7d-44f3-b034-b4f9cb628cc0.jpg?v=1701885328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dangerous-enemy-sympathizers-andrew-theobald-9781773101248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
