To say I was shocked and disgusted is putting it mildly.Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-3681230496648928372009-05-15T12:25:00.000-05:002009-05-15T12:25:00.000-05:00I know nothing about the Japanese internment camps...I know nothing about the Japanese internment camps beyond their existence, so this book sounds interesting.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-11822648213389893342009-05-15T10:22:00.000-05:002009-05-15T10:22:00.000-05:00Charley ~ I'll be curious to see your take on it.

It is a side of the war that is often forgotten...check out "Snow Falling on Cedars" by David Guterson.<br /><br />There is a bit in this book about the internment camps and its impact on a Japanese family, though seen mostly in flashbacks if I remember correctly.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-35673783317584533982009-05-15T07:21:00.000-05:002009-05-15T07:21:00.000-05:00Joanna ~ That *is* strange.
