Thursday, July 30, 1-2:30pm. Nearly 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated in concentration camps in the western interior of the United States during World War II. Their forced relocation and internment were ordered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Sixty-two percent of the internees were U.S. citizens, including the parents of our speaker, Mr. John H. Suzukida Suzukida will speak about his parents’ experiences during WWII. His talk will include historical context and quotes from his parents describing their time of internment, post-war resettlement, and assimilation back into society. He will share pictures, artifacts, and the story of how his parents chose to live with this challenge—being imprisoned while in their early 20s, what they experienced, and how they went on with their lives, leaving the camps with just $25 and a train ticket to a destination of their choice.
