Manzanar: 65 Years Later

My father was interned at Manzanar during WWII, even though he was an American citizen and later served in the US Army. Our family visited Manzanar to learn about his experience during this difficult time.

Great. I was at the grand opening of the Interpretive Center. By any chance, are you related to a Rose Ochi?

As far as I know, no. I've heard of her over the years and everyone says wonderful things about her, though. Thanks for viewing the video!

Japanese Americans are Americans. They are no responsible for what nationalist Japeneses did. Were German Americans responsible for what the Nazis did?

You mean I think the " Americans should be embarrass about what they did to the Japanese and Japanese "Americans" cause those were citizens who were stripped of their rights and their space in the country.

I understand that ,and don't pass that off .But at the time the gov didn't know what to do. & there were plenty of spies and sabatuers on the west coast. While Germans were not treated the same way, there were dozens of germans in the US executed for sedition and treason.Those were tough time for everyone .Go tell ppl in Somalia how bad the Japanese had it in WW2.

I agree.

Japanese American is no Japanese. Please, don't con-fuse. Hawaii Senator Daniel K. Inuye gave to USMC Col. Oliver North a lesson of patriotism and courage on the "Iran-gate" hearing .

A Japanese American man says, "had other Americans had courage to speak out.."(against human injustice),he says Rememberance Day and this Dialogue about violations of human rights would be unnecessary today.I agree about apologizing, but also question how many of the Japanese Americans kept quiet about or justified Japanese invasions,colonialism,and slavery in rest of Asia for half a century before WWII? Are they doing enough today about Japanese Government's Whitewashing of History?
