Being Japanese in the USA after WWII
from The Breakfast Podcast · host Patricia López Muñoz
This is a raw and unfiltered look at the darkest chapters of history. In each episode we explore dictatorships, hate crimes and terror regimes that left indelible scars on humanity. Silenced voices, forgotten memories and uncomfortable truths that need to be told. It’s hard to imagine what life was like for Japanese-Americans who, after facing one of the darkest chapters in American history—internment camps during WWII—had to rebuild their lives in a country that viewed them with suspicion and hostility. The aftermath of war left them not just fighting to survive, but to reclaim their dignity and rights as citizens.
