I'm not American, we talked a lot about what happened in Europe in the early 20th century, so little of us would have any knowledge that the same that happened in soviet Russia or Hitler ruled Germany happened in America. We need to spread the word, we need to know the facts, the histories, we need to hold each other accountable. And yet we allow the same things to happen today. How despicable

"Justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other, [...] that my liberty depends on you being free, too;[...] that history can't be a sword to justify injustice or shield against progress, [...] but must he a manual for how to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past."
- Pres. Barack Obama, They Called Us Enemy p. 203
This book should be a national treasure. One of the best historical memoirs I have ever read. The messages it contains are even more vital and pressing today than ever before.

It brings up a very great conversation on the treatment that Japanese and Japanese-Americans experienced during the second world war. I cried reading this especially toward the end when other issues regarding other immigration issues that are commonly faced by middle Easters and us Hispanic/Latinos. I'm lucky and fortunate enough to say that I as a latina have been lucky enough to have good experience so for the most part but many of our people aren't.
Thank you for this book
