Omoide V

Forty first-person narratives dramatically bring to life the impact of discrimination and civil rights violations on US citizens before, during, and after WWII. Contributions by adults who when young experienced the incarceration in “camps” and the injustice give a view rarely told through the eyes of children. Written for readers of all ages, Omoide V details how discrimination mandated by the US government disrupted families and destroyed businesses. Fortunately, a few rays of light made their way through this dark time; we also hear of individuals who courageously rose above such treatment and reached out to help the Japanese-Americans and remind others that each person deserves respect.
