Acknowledgement or avoidance? : German-Canadian immigrant women's memories of National Socialism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study examines oral histories from ten women who immigrated to Canada from Germany between 1947 and 1960.The main topics of this thesis are: The League of German Girls (BDM); anti-Semitism in Germany, encounters with Jews in Canada and multiculturalism, and how the women in this study remembered feeling about World War II while they lived in Nazi Germany and after living in Canada.After living in Canada for the past 40 to 60 years the women did not fully deal with their pasts.Although the women were able to discuss the topics in this study and have discussed their experiences in Germany with family and füends, in many of these situations the women presented themselves as victims.They also concentrated on the more positive aspects of the Nazi regime, including the camaraderie in the BDM, and made it a point to emphasizethatihey did not know about the Holocaust while they were girls.It is important to remember that myths in life stories, the effect of the interviewer, and the repression of painfrl events including bombing and rape impacted the women's responses during their interviews.When discussing anti-Semitism and multiculturalism the women often responded with what they thought I wanted to hear.Despite this, by participating in the study and by discussing their memories and experiences, and in some cases their changing views of the past, the women demonstrated that they are making progress in the process of dealing with their pasts as Germans.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
