 Emiko
and I went to see the Japanese American
Museum in September of 2003. Emiko is Japanese American. Her father
moved to American before World War II. When the war started he was sent
to a concentration camp and after the war he was deported to Japan. At large
part of the museum is dedicated to the atrocities inflicted upon Americans
of Japanese decent during World War II. Unfortunately photographs are prohibited
in the most emotional parts of the museum. Part of the Museum of Modern
Art (MOCA) is located near the Japanese American Museum and Emiko and I
went to visit it as well. |
