Have you read The Buddha in the Attic? It’s a slightly different take on the internment.

“This will always be a sticking point for me when it came to enrolling Japanese men in the draft and pitching it as a civic duty.” — Minority groups in the US have so much in common yet our history is always told so separately. Imagine if our voices weren’t so fractured.

Thanks for sharing your family’s story with us. Generational trauma is real.

Thanks for sharing these books and your family’s history. I’ve only heard of “Baseball Saved Us”, but I’ll have to look into the other recommendations.
