Reviews
- Scapegoats, indeed
I am grateful that Mr Muller has presented actual stories from people’s lives, to bring them to life, rather than just dryly retelling the history of the camps. My parents, grandparents and other extended family were all imprisoned in the camps, so I know many horror stories myself, but it’s important for the public at large to understand what happened. 2/3 of those locked up were American citizens. Many were children. No one was ever found guilty of treason!

United States3 years ago - Medium Brings Moment to Light
I came across Scapegoat Cities a month or two ago and slowly listened all the way through. Each story brings forth a sense of humanity that can be lost in the retelling of historical events. Before having the privilege of taking Professor Muller’s First Year Seminar and coming across Scapegoat Cities, I knew very little of the removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans during WWII. Music paired with words and an articulate voice is a prime medium for bringing this period to light. Thank you ... more
Apple Podcasts5Halden LevinUnited States4 years ago - Great storytelling on sorrowful topic
Professor Eric Muller is a master of the written and spoken word. I’m actually dragging my feet about the last few episodes, not wanting to be finished listening. I grew up in a house constructed from several pieces of the barracks at the Heart Mountain Camp. Though growing up I understood the story of the camp, I never understood the injustices inflicted there by my own government until I was an adult and a student in Professor Muller’s constitutional law course at the University of Wyoming’s C... more
Apple Podcasts5LittleRedJDUnited States5 years ago - Outstanding podcast
As a storyteller, I know that stories open listeners’ hearts and touch us emotionally in a way that mere facts do not. As a Japanese American with family members who were incarcerated at Tule Lake and Minidoka for the crime of looking like the enemy, I am especially grateful for Eric Muller’s carefully researched and moving stories that bring the hardships of the incarceration to life and to a larger audience. These stories are needed more today than ever before and Professor Muller is doing a r... more

Thank you professor Muller. My parents met at Heart Mountain and I believe when people experience something so hard, they often want to put into their past - that’s natural. So I am thankful to learn our history from people who did not personally experience the camps.
