The Effects of WWII on Four Generations of Women
In the winter of 1942, on the heels of the Pearl Harbor attack, President Franklin Deleno Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. With that signature, thousands of Japanese Americans were relocated from their own private homes to internment camps. Hear the experiences of one family forced to deal with the realities of that time. Learn what the impact has been on four generations of women from this Japanese family.
