Abstract
The journey that led to the publication of this volume began in Toronto in June 2009 with a conference entitled "The St Louis Era: Looking Back, Moving Forward," which was co-hosted by the Government of Canada and the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada.This conference, held in partnership with the US Department of State, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Mémorial de la Shoah was the "liaison" project that led to Canada's entry as a full member of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research.The conference proceedings were designed to do more than just examine the fate of the passengers of the ill-fated voyage of the MS St Louis in 1939, many of whom, tragically, later perished in the Holocaust.The St Louis was, after all, just one boat of many bearing refugees who had taken to the seas in desperation, searching for safe haven from Hitler's Nazi regime.The goal of the conference was to look more widely at this era of prejudice and restrictive immigration policies; hence the title of the conference and the terminology used by some of the authors in this book.Academics, educators, government officials, and human rights acti vists from Canada and abroad came together to take a fresh look at the perceptions and policies of the past, in some cases revisiting familiar terrain in search of new perspectives.Conference presenters set forth difficult questions and offered answers that were, of necessity, tentative.But two unmistakable conclusions emerged: first, that further research was necessary on this painful subject to encompass both the intellectual and emotional spheres of inquiry; second, that a national body should take the lead in fostering new scholarship and

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.
