C3.2 analyse how Canada and people in Canada, including First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit individuals and communities, responded or were connected to some major international events and/or developments that occurred during this period (e.g., the Red Scare; the Holodomor; the Spanish Civil War; the Nanking Massacre; aggression by fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and/or imperial Japan; the Holocaust; the Manhattan Project), and assess the significance of the responses/connections, including their significance for identities and heritage in Canada
Sample questions: “Why did the Canadian government refuse to allow the SS St Louis entry into Canada? How did Canadians view this decision at the time? Why? How do Canadians view it now?” “What is the connection between Canada’s policies with respect to First Nations people and the development of racial policies in Nazi Germany?” “Why would Métis volunteer in large numbers to fight for a country that didn’t recognize them?”
C3.3 analyse the impact of the Holocaust on Canadian society and on the attitudes of people in Canada towards human rights (e.g., with reference to changes in Canadians’ responses
to minority groups; more open refugee policies, including those affecting Holocaust survivors and other displaced persons; Canada’s signing of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the evolution of laws against hate crimes)
Sample questions: “Do you think the Holocaust affected Canadians’ views about Canada’s treatment of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit? Why, or why not?”
