pickI just finished reading The Invisible Thread by Yoshiki Uchida, which is a memoir of a WWII Internment Camp survivor. It‘s one of the most profound books I have ever read, & the messages within the pages of this memoir are a must-read. Poignant, powerful, & SO IMPORTANT in today‘s day & age where the threat of tossing fellow Muslims into concentration camps is a very real possibility. Just an outstanding narrative all around.

This is such a candid, powerful, & harrowing account of the Japanese-American experience of unconstitutional treatment during Second World War.
“...although President Franklin D. Roosevelt had seen a state department report testifying to the ‘extraordinary degree of loyalty‘ among West Coast Japanese-Americans, he chose to listen to the voices of the hate-mongers.”
I‘ve tabbed so many moving & contemplative parts already.

Some of my library books are due this weekend, so I‘m gonna tackle what I can before renewing the rest.
This is a NF memoir about a young JPN-AM girl‘s experience in the Japanese Internment Camps in America during the Second World War.
Uchida-san grew up to become an award-winning author, which is wonderful.
