Notes

Description
The US government claimed anyone of Japanese descent was an enemy due to the Pearl Harbor bombing. George and his family had committed no crime. They were American in every way. But because they looked like the enemy, they were forcibly removed from their home. My Lost Freedom is Star Trek actor, activist, and American icon George Takei's story about growing up in Japanese American incarceration camps during World War II. It's about how Daddy and Mama kept their family safe in their new "homes"--the Santa Anita racetrack, swampy Camp Rohwer, and desolate Tule Lake, surrounded by barbed wire and armed soldiers.
