Can you imagine someone taking your home, your possessions, and your freedom?

Internment is a wartime peril that many immigrant communities have faced. The exhibits Broken Promises and Enemy Aliens examine the internment of Ukrainian and German Canadians in the First World War and Japanese Canadians in the Second World War. They provide a crucial look at how crisis and world conflict can have profound consequences for previously welcomed immigrants.

Join us for the opening of these two exhibitions with a virtual panel discussion featuring experts on the First World War and Japanese Canadian internment during the Second World War.
