This book looks at the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during WWII from the focus of a group of boys/young men who played football in one of the camps. It does a great job of showing the situation Japanese-American citizens were in but the football parts are a bit dull (and I like the game), so I‘m glad there was actually less of that than I was expecting.

Poignant story of Japanese American soldier who fought with honor against Germans in Europe. He succeeded as a soldier despite a lot of prejudice at home. His family was at Topaz camp in Utah.

I am reading this one now about Japanese American soldiers in Europe during the big war, while their families were interned in camps back home!

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

I'm going to miss these. In this list, of the books I have read, the one that stands out is David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars, a truly beautiful read, and at the same time troubling and poignant.

dabbe And it's now on my TBR! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶💚🩶 P.S. I'll try to create other fun lists, too! 3w
