The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior
An in-depth history of one of Canada’s World War II internment camps that held both Nazis and anti-Nazis alike. For eighteen months during the Second World War, the Canadian military interned 1,145 prisoners of war in Red Rock, Ontario (about 100 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay).

Operation Payback
"Translation of (1985) Soviet-era (KGB) document confirming plans for 'Operation Payback', an effort to sow discord between the Ukrainian and Jewish diasporas over the alleged presence of 'Nazi war criminals' in North America--provoking the creation of the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) in the USA and of the Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals (headed by Mr Justice Jules Deschenes), in Canada. The original text with an English translation, complemented by a few dozen opinion-editorials written by Lubomyr Luciuk and published in leading Canadian newspapers between 1986 and 2020, dealing with bogus allegations about 'thousands of Nazi war criminals hiding in Canada' as well as underscoring the actual presence of Soviet collaborators and purported war criminals (e.g veterans of SMERSH, NKVD, KGB and Red Partisan units) who were living in Canada, but never subjected to any inquiry or legal proceedings."--
Family Ties: How a Ukrainian Nazi and a living witness link Canada to Ukraine today
The standing ovation accorded in 2023 to a Second World War Ukrainian Nazi unit veteran in Canada’s House of Commons shocked Canadians – and the world. Author Peter McFarlane was not surprised. He had already spent three years learning about two people, Mikael Chomiak and Ann Charney, whose parallel lives during and after that war highlight the complex and disturbing story of Ukraine and Canada’s post-war Ukrainian Canadian community. Ann Charney was two years old when she and her Jewish mother evaded their certain death by hiding out in a hayloft in the Ukrainian countryside. Ann spent two long years in that attic. She and her mother survived the war, and ultimately made their way to ...
The Ukrainian Diaspora
In this fascinating book, Vic Satzewich traces one hundred and twenty-five years of Ukranian migration, from the economic migration at the end of the nineteenth century to the political migration during the inter-war period and throughout the 1960s and 1980s resulting from the troubled relationship between Russia and the Ukraine. The author looks at the ways the Ukranian Diaspora has retained its identity, at the different factions within it and its response to the war crimes trials of the 1980s.
The Cambridge Survey of World Migration
This extensive survey of migration in the modern world begins in the sixteenth century with the establishment of European colonies overseas, and covers the history of migration to the late twentieth century, when global communications and transport systems stimulated immense and complex flows of labour migrants and skilled professionals. In ninety-five contributions, leading scholars from twenty-seven different countries consider a wide variety of issues including migration patterns, the flights of refugees and illegal migration. Each entry is a substantive essay, supported by up-to-date bibliographies, tables, plates, maps and figures. As the most wide-ranging coverage of migration in a single volume, The Cambridge Survey of World Migration will be an indispensable reference tool for scholars and students in the field.
