The front page and several other pages were published as if the Germans had occupied Canada. Note that in column 2 there is a report titled "Jüdishes Pogrom berichtet" which indicates that everyone knew exactly what was happening to the Jews when the Nazis invaded their countries. Also note the line in the announcement [Ankündigung] at center "NO ONE WILL ACT, SPEAK, OR THINK CONTRARY TO OUR DECREES" It is signed by the Gauleiter of Winnipeg, Erich von Neurenberg. I had to look at this twice because it sounds like something the current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau would have written. |
