Anna Paulina Mayerhofer...until she decided to run for office! Her paternal grandfather was born in Germany and was in the Wehrmacht during World War II, he immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1954. But was he really in the Wehrmacht?
After World War II, Canada allowed thousands of former Nazis, including SS guards and collaborators, to immigrate, often bypassing screening to fill labor needs or due to anti-communist sentiment. Key examples included over 2,000 members of the Ukrainian Waffen-SS Galicia Division, admitted in 1950, and numerous individuals who concealed their pasts, such as Helmut Oberlander.
Luna has said that her father raised her to follow Messianic Judaism, an evangelical movement that incorporates Jewish traditions into Protestant Christianity, and that she is "a small fraction Ashkenazi". Members of her extended family have denied this claim, saying her father was Catholic, and that "they were not aware of him practicing any form of Judaism while Luna was growing up". Her mother has said that Luna's father was a Christian who "embraced the Messianic faith" after getting clean from drug addiction.
