A reader graciously pointed the way to a very good source of information about the Japanese internment, especially on video, in comments to my earlier post about the book on Dorothea Lange’s photos of internment events.
Shay Witt suggested we look to the Japanese American National Museum. In addition to exhibits, the museum store offers several VHS and DVD products that should be good for classroom use. Witt specifically mentioned the award-winning documentary “Something Strong Within.” That film is now available on DVD, in a compilation disc.
Tests tend to show that students are unfamiliar with this history. It is particularly salient today, with our nation once again at war and imprisoning people unaccused of any particular acts.
