Religious & Political Press

Although people in Canada were predominantly Christian during the 1900s, little religious detail was reported regarding news on the history of the Holocaust and the history of Europe Jews. However in more established news outlets, stories of the Holocaust emerged all throughout North America. In an attempt to stress the pressing need of aid in relief for the mass majority of Jews in Europe affected by the Holocaust. As a result, Canadian citizens exposed to the better broadcasted news, were informed and given the opportunity to rally against their government, to try and aid in whatever ways they could. In the article Demand Political Price for Food, Pope Charges from the Globe and Mail, the author states that “Political considerations were being applied to distribution of relief supplies”. With the presence of established articles, it provided reassurance of social effort and activism of the Canadian public. Canadians were also well aware of relief due to the establishment of articles in which broadcasted Canada’s involvement with the war effort, aside from being involved in the front lines.

The reporting of the Holocaust during the mid-1940s, primarily used numbers and statistics to further emphasize the desperate times that the world was in post WWII. Even though Canada acknowledged they were at war and statements by Winston Churchill declared that they engaged in war to win, political considerations were heavily used in determining the amount of help to aid the victims from the Holocaust

Despite Canada’s participation in WWII, political considerations were heavily used in determining the amount of help to aid the victims from the Holocaust.
