More than 120,000 Japanese Americans were interned behind barbed wire during World War II . . . over half were children. The documentary _Children of the Camps_ captures the experiences of six Americans of Japanese ancestry who were confined as children to internment camps by the U.S. government during World War II. The film vividly portrays their personal journey to heal the deep wounds they suffered from this experience.
"I remember the soldiers marching us to the Army tank and I looked at their rifles and I was just terrified because I could see this long knife at the endŠ" (_Children of the Camps_).
Dr. Judy Tzu-Chun Wu (OSU Dept. of History) will introduce the documentary, and a panel discussion with internment survivors will follow the screening.
