An informative graphic novel focusing on Japanese American citizen experiences after Japanese attacked Hawaii. Cruelty, racism, prejudice... And yet somehow it spreads hope and knowledge, it asks us to never forget, do not allow past mistakes be repeated.
I'm not American, we talked a lot about what happened in Europe in the early 20th century, so little of us would have any knowledge that the same that happened in soviet Russia or Hitler ruled Germany happened in America. We need to spread the word, we need to know the facts, the histories, we need to hold each other accountable. And yet we allow the same things to happen today. How despicable
