Very well done, important conversations and very interesting
Apple Podcasts5etesh12United States9 months ago - Japanese Internment Camps
My wife’s family (parents, grandparents and aunts and uncle) were incarcerated during WWII because they lived in California and were of Japanese ancestry. Though I have seen and read many things on this topic, along with first hand accounts from family and friends, I found this episode unique in how it unwrapped the underlying trauma that affected the families through generations. Thank you for doing all these podcasts!

Apple Podcasts5noprime4miUnited Statesa year ago - Grab some tissues
What a fantastic show, and so thoughtfully produced. Inheriting shows us that the most important historians are our ancestors. As a CHamoru with roots in Guam, hearing the episode covering the Japanese occupation of my island was enlightening, not many folks know the history — and even less people share it widely. Do yourself a favor and listen, especially if you are AAPI diaspora (not a great term but it gets the job done) and make sure to grab some tissues. It may get dicey.
