Letters to the Editor: Readers moved by L.A. Times historian's letters on Japanese American incarceration (via latimesopinion )
about his uncle and the inhumanity perpetrated by the U.S. government upon Japanese Americans forced needlessly into America’s concentration camps during World War II.
The letters Kunitomi has from his uncle during his time at Santa Anita are a treasure for the honest stories they tell, and for Ted’s hopefulness for the American ideals that continue to be defiled on a regular basis.Kunitomi’s mother was my 5th and 6th grade teacher at Los Feliz Elementary School. Richard Nixon had just started his second term as president.
Those years, history lessons were spent on Father Junipero Serra’s mission system. We also studied Hawaii and its eventual statehood. We had a lovely luau class party where Mrs. Kunitomi sang. Mrs. Kunitomi did not speak in class about the incarceration of her family and those of so many other Japanese Americans, nor did she tell of her late brother, Teddy, a heroic member of the fabled 442 Army regiment.Kunitomi does an excellent job showing some local details of the terrible years of Japanese American mass incarceration.
