SUMMARY:Italian Canadian Archives Project (ICAP) Presents Making of: "Separated from Santo"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by the writer of “Separated by Santo”\, a graphic novel about an Italian-Canadian Internee during WWII. \nJoin the Italian-Canadian Archives Project (ICAP) for a conversation with author Brian Barazzuol about Separated from Santo: The true story of an Italian-Canadian Internee during the Second World War (Heritage House Books\, 2025). Registered attendees will receive the event Zoom link. ICAP GMM to follow. \nPlease note: only registrants will be sent the zoom link for the event. Individuals wishing to watch the event separately will need to register separately. \n\nAbout Separated from Santo: \nA poignant and eye-opening graphic novel chronicling one Italian-Canadian family’s traumatic separation when their loving father and husband is interned as an “enemy alien” during the Second World War. \nIn 1933\, disturbed by the rise of Mussolini’s fascist regime\, Santo and Alice Pasqualini left their native Italy and settled in Vancouver\, Canada\, to create a new life far away from the burgeoning madness of Europe. The couple opened a bakery and became naturalized residents of their new country\, avoiding politics and concentrating on working hard and building a family. \nUnfortunately\, their refuge was short-lived\, when Santo was arrested for being an “enemy alien” and interned first in Kananaskis\, Alberta\, and then in Petawawa\, Ontario. Italian Canadians\, similar to Japanese and German Canadians were considered a threat to the country and therefore\, these individuals\, mostly male\, were imprisoned with no release date determined. Santo\, a hardworking man who loved his family\, lost his bakery\, delivery truck\, and house. Meanwhile\, his wife and children struggled to get by\, as he was interned for twenty-four months\, with little to no communication between him and his family. Alice suffered a nervous breakdown due to the stress of the situation and was hospitalized\, resulting in their two children being sent off to live with two separate families for nearly two years. \nTold in dynamic graphic novel form\, Separated from Santo depicts an individual who was mistreated\, who persevered\, and eventually was reunited with his family. Instead of being bitter towards adopted country\, the family accepted the situation for what it was\, and was thankful to build a home in such a great country. Decades later\, apologies from the Canadian government acknowledged the injustice\, though the incident reverberated through generations. Written by the great-grandson of Santo and Alice\, this poignant and powerful story is a reminder to see the humanity behind every so-called “enemy.” \nFor more info and to purchase: https://heritagehouse.ca/products/separated-from-santo
