Amazing Podcast
2021-06-28
This podcast is both amazingly informative and absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for giving a voice to survivors. Their story’s need to be told and herd by all Canadians
Good for a base level of knowledge but also a plug for Gov of Canada

Worth a listen for a basic level of knowledge and to hear the testimonies from survivors. There is too much focus on what Canada is doing now to help. These were concentration camps and some of the language used to to describe doesn’t feel strong enough. They didn’t die of all of these horrible acts committed against them. They were murdered.
We need to remember
