Dr. Bohdan Kordan joins Ryan Boyko to examine Canada’s First World War internment operations, which saw thousands of Ukrainians and other Europeans labelled enemy aliens, confined in camps and subjected to forced labour.

Their conversation explores why the internment operations happened, how this history was nearly forgotten, and the long struggle for recognition and redress.
