AB - A reunion of some of the most unusual immigrants to arrive in Canada is being held in Toronto on May 13. The group of German and Austrian nationals arrived in the country in July 1940 after being rounded up by the government and shipped across the Atlantic because they were seen as potential fifth columnists. They were held in internment camps in Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick for two to three years because the government was unsure what to do with them, after which many went to school or helped with the war effort. Out of the nearly 1,000 of them who chose to remain in Canada, over 70 contributed to the country's intellectual life by becoming university professors, while dozens became authors, musicians, and scientists. The writer briefly profiles three of the surviving "camp boys": Josef Kates, Fred Kaufman, and Walter Kohn.
