Recenzii
"The firsthand accounts collected through interviews over the years alone make The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior: A History of Canadian Internment Camp R an important addition to the literature, providing a much better understanding about life in a Canadian internment camp. Further, the experience of Camp R demonstrated to Canadian authorities the need for better constructed facilities, provision of adequate recreational activities, and the need to avoid mixed camps of hard core Nazis, prisoners of war, and interned civilians. It was the origin for rewriting prisoner classifications and rights within internment camps in Canada..."

"In the carnival of Canadian oddities, none is more curious than The Little Third Reich On Lake Superior. Historian Ernest Zimmerman of Lakehead University chronicles the strange events that saw 1,150 men and boys Jews and Nazis alike herded into bunkhouses northeast of Thunder Bay in the winter of 1940. It was a third-rate jungle prison, one inmate recalled; another complained it was like being kidnapped and dragged into the wilderness." Holly Doan, Blacklock's Reporter, October 3, 2015
"Most of us have an image of what prisoner of war camps looked like, either from documentary footage about Nazi POW camps, or feature films about World War ll, or television situation comedies. The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior shatters all of those stereotypes and, through diligent assembly of public records, multiple library archives and personal interviews, gives us a in-depth picture of a Canadian internment camp. All of this is skilfully organized in a reader-friendly, chronological way.... There are extensive notes and historical photographs included in the volume."

"Hitler's publicist once spent the winter in Red Rock, Ont., humming the Horst Wessel Song and cursing his fate. In the carnival of Canadian oddities, none is more curious than The Little Third Reich On Lake Superior. Historian Ernest Zimmerman of Lakehead University chronicles the strange events that saw 1,150 men and boys - Jews and Nazis alike - herded into bunkhouses northeast of Thunder Bay in the winter of 1940.... Little Third Reich counts 26 such camps nationwide from Kananaskis Park in Alberta to Montral's St. Helen's Island, future site of Expo 67. None were bigger than Camp R at Red Rock."

"Zimmermann's thorough research, along with numerous photos of daily life in Camp R, paints a vivid picture of life at the camp and the political context that spawned it... [A] fascinating look into the politics of wartime internment camps and the role Canada played as host to the unique group of internees at Camp R." Sandy Klowack, Canada's History, August-September 2016
"... Zimmermann details life in one small, remote camp on Lake Superior to show unique origins and to criticize persons and procedures of Canada's internment program. He condemns Churchill for deporting enemy aliens from the UK to Canada to forestall an imaginary 'fifth column' in case of German invasion. He blames the Mackenzie King government in Ottawa for accepting deportees and handling internees in an illegal, unworkable manner.... Nazis and anti-Nazis (including Jews) fought bloody conflicts in the camps, often leaving Nazis to dominate camp life, plan escapes, and generate propaganda. The book includes colorful incidents of daily life and inmate characters such as former Hitler confidant Ernst 'Putzi' Hanfstaengel. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries." -- G. H. Davis -- CHOICE Magazine
"The Little Third Reich on Lake Superior (University of Alberta Press) reminds us how many people it can take to bring a work to print. The late Ernest Robert Zimmermann's manuscript required further editing that was provided by two academics, Michel S. Beaulieu and David K. Ratz. Then the author's estate had opinions and expectations about aspects of a difficult work that blends both memoir and scholarly research. Lesley Peterson worked effectively and efficiently as an editor on all technical fronts as she negotiated into print this important work that takes you inside Canada's often contradictory internment policies during the Second World War." Judges' comments, Tom Fairley Award -- 20160615
"Lesley Peterson successfully navigated the occasionally competing interests of a late author's family and colleagues while shepherding this book through a publishing house in transition, accomplishments that go far beyond the usual expectations for even the best editors."
