Bonus Episode: Stories We Didn't Tell
This episode was produced by Mr Maillet - High School History and Psychology Teacher. He apologizes for any misspronounced names and locations.
The Holocaust is so vast that no series can cover every story. This bonus episode introduces important topics we didn't have time to explore in our main series and invites you to continue learning.
Discover the Kindertransport, which saved nearly 10,000 Jewish children (including 669 rescued by Nicholas Winton). Learn about Protestant churches in Budapest that hid Jewish children during Hungary's darkest days. Explore the Danish rescue that saved 95% of Denmark's Jews, uprisings in death camps, hidden children who survived in silence, and the Righteous Among Nations who risked everything.
We also discuss how Holocaust education is taught in classrooms today, the challenges educators face, age-appropriate approaches, and why this history remains essential for students.
Consider this your reading list, your museum guide, your invitation to dig deeper into the stories of rescue, resistance, and resilience that deserve to be remembered.

Episode 448: Queen of the Hurricanes - Elsie MacGill
Join Mr Maillet as he we explores the groundbreaking life of Elsie MacGill, Canada's pioneering "Queen of the Hurricanes." Born in Vancouver in 1905, MacGill shattered barriers to become the world's first female aircraft designer and aeronautical engineer.
Despite being struck by polio during her university years, MacGill's determination never wavered. She went on to play a crucial role in Canada's World War II effort, overseeing the production of over 1,400 Hawker Hurricane fighter planes that helped turn the tide of the war.
But MacGill's legacy extends far beyond aviation. As a founding member of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada, she helped shape policies that advanced women's rights for generations. From breaking engineering barriers in the 1940s to championing equality in the 1960s, MacGill's story is one of resilience, innovation, and unwavering advocacy.
Discover how a young woman from British Columbia rose to become one of Canada's most influential engineers and social advocates, leaving a lasting impact on both our skies and our society.
This episode was made possible by the gracious support of the St. Peter High School Parent Council for their funding to receive a Maono Caaster Lite AU-AM200-S1 recording set up. Mr Maillet produced this episode to test the equipment on a Chromebook to better support students during the upcoming Academic Year.
