Almost immediately, 31,000 Italian-Canadians were officially designated enemy aliens. Of these, about 600 were taken from their homes and separated from their families. They were held in prisons and remote camps, most notably in Petawawa, Ontario. For many, these memories have been hidden for reasons of shame, fear, humiliation and embarrassment.
