Document Summary
Smith, a. m. klein were montreal poets; but he was the youngest member: modernism was a response to despair of wwi, a. j. Smith was not a member of a monopolized group who needed to make a political statement so it was easier for him to make art for art"s sake/pure art. Context: antisemitism in canada and europe: the nazis were elected to power in 1933 and in 1935 they enacted the. Nuremberg laws which established the swastika symbol on the german flag, legalized anti-semitism, recognized jews as residential aliens , and revoked/stopped granting the citizenship of jews. The racialization of jews became law and sexual relations was prohibited between jews and non-jews: kristallnacht is roughly translated as night of crystals/broken glass over the course of one night. The german s. s. army and german people orchestrated an organized attack across various cities on jewish homes, synagogues, and schools.
