“This is one of the most important podcast casts to listen to. Learning in detail all that went on during the biggest mistake that the United States made during World War 2 is important to know.

“Many Japanese American’s who were forcefully removed and incarcerated during WWII do not speak of what was for many a shameful experience. This podcast gives you a glimpse into these Americans’ lives. Tell your kids. And do not forget.”

“I spent 4 years in Tulelake, CA, and it’s easy to understand, even today, why the government selected such a desolate location for an incarceration camp. And as this podcast emphasizes, the WRA enforced incarceration, not internment. This was a well told, interesting, and timely reminder about...”Read full review »

“This podcast was an important series of first hand reports and information about the Japanese-American Incarceration so that we understand how groups of people were and still are persecuted in the name of fear, religion, politics and power!”

You think this would come up in an educational setting at some point during state history, US history, or even world history, but I didn’t learn about this atrocity until I was in my twenties, and it...”Read full review »
