I keep ...I really can't wait to read this book. I keep seeing it pop up on everyone's blogs. <br /><br />My mother and her family were all placed in internment camps during WWII. Some were in the Heart Mountain, Wyoming camp and some were in the Rohwer, Arkansas camp. I really enjoy reading anything that touches on the WWII experiences of the Japanese Americans. The Nisei (second generation) were such hard-working people that rarely complained. I really admire that generation. <br /><br />Hopefully I can get to this book by the end of the year. You wrote a great review! <br /><br />Also, thanks for joining my Book Read 'Round the World Event. I will be ordering the books by the end of the week to start it off and will keep in touch with everyone through blog posts and e-mail. I am so excited to have another German blogger join in the fun!Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306757884348058544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203229310853335495.post-6502719957369844612010-06-22T22:13:22.170+02:002010-06-22T22:13:22.170+02:00Great review, kolibri!

I hadn't heard about these internment camps either. <br /><br />It's very sad how these people had to suffer because of what their home country (or even their parents' home country) was doing in the war. It's very human to mistrust people for the way they look or where they're from. But it's still bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
