  • Powerful & Timely

    I knew about the horrors of the camps. The pain and trauma. What I didn’t know is here. But that is just the beginning. There is much more to learn and confront.

    As usual, Rachel and her team bring something hard hitting and painful about who we’ve been and how woefully we have fallen short of remembering lessons that we were supposed to have learned many decades ago. We have not.

    Here again, we are committing the same atrocities. First, I was horrified at what I didn’t know and outraged at ... more

  • So necessary to know

    As California native, learned this history - albeit too briefly - via public school systems in 1960s-1980s. Went to school with people whose parents experienced this, and my mother told stories at home of losing classmates in Los Angeles who were interred.

    Wake up people: history is repeating itself!

  • Fascinating and Moving

    I thought I knew everything I wanted to know about the Japanese internment and delayed listening to this. I was absolutely wrong. I didn’t even know about Ralph Carr in my very own state. This podcast series is one of the best I have heard. Debt of gratitude for this!
