Great topic. So nice to hear the history behind the records. Thank you for sharing this, Linda.
Thank you! Very informative & interesting!
Excellent webinar. I cannot imagine the hurt and harm experienced by those persons displaced from their homes and having such life altering circumstances to deal with. This webinar should become part of a PBS documentary.
Very informative !
Linda Harms Okasaki is a seasoned researcher and special expertise in her topic. Extremely informative information.
Outstanding! Bring her back please.
I don't have any ancestors (that I know of) who were subject to internment but I was surprised by how much I learned. They definitely didn't teach it all in school. Excellent and enlightening webinar.
Wonderful webinar! Thank you
