This series documents and shares intimate moments of the descendants, relatives and sometimes those directly involved in the Japanese-American relocation camps that existed throughout this country during World War II. For years, families struggled to come to terms with the experience. Family members either considered sharing the stories to be dishonorable or it was simply too painful.
