stephfore 's review for:
Coming from a family where both of my grandparents were interned in Canada as well as currently living within 50 miles of the historic site of this internment camp made this book doubly interesting to me. I've heard the personal stories from my grandparents and I was again reminded of the hardships and prejudice that my ancestors and many others experienced.
All I can hope is that the American and Canadian governments have learned from the past and will not repeat similar actions in the future.
This book gave insight to the everyday life of internees and the events that led up to internment. The decisions that family units had to make in order to stay together or in some cases the sacrifices in order to be reunited had horrifying repercussions. My life would be wholly different if my grandparents had been repatriated. I appreciated how this book incorporated view points from the different ethnic groups that were affected. I will be sharing this book with my family members, and as someone of Japanese I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in WW2.
