"Lost & Found: Reclaiming the Japanese American Incarceration" by Karen L. Ishizuka

About the Event

Ideal for Educators

Combining heartfelt stories with first-rate scholarship, Lost & Found reveals the complexity of people reclaiming their own history by exploring the meaning of the World War II camps from the inmates' own memories. Ishizuka, former Senior Curator and Director of the Frank H. Watase Media Arts Center at the Japanese American National Museum, deftly blends official history with community memory to work towards recovering a painful past. During this program, the author, in conversation with Thai Binh Checel, Partner, Abacus Educational Enrichment, provides new insights about the Japanese American incarceration experience.
