World War II internment experience stimulates pain, questions across generations

Posted January 12, 2009 8:07 PM | Comments (0)

The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II continues to have a profound impact on the community more than 70 years and several generations later. Reporter Donna Tam and photographer James Woodard met with a multi-generational group of Japanese Americans in the Japantown district of San Francisco to capture their feelings in this multimedia package called "Transcending Generations." This project was made possible by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program. For related stories, search for Japanese Americans and Garden of Remembrance.
