Quick with a lot of good information.

Takei and his team did a fantastic job with this book. I have to admit that I really didn't know much about the Japanese internment camps before this book. Truthfully, I didn't even know they had existed until families were being separated and detained at the Mexico border. This book was written with education on the events being the driving factor and it does this beautifully. He talks about the impact that he saw on his parents vs the impact on he and his siblings. I feel like this should be a must read for everyone.

Review of 'They Called Us Enemy' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Essential reading, beautifully illustrated. It begins with George as a young boy, believing that he and his family were going on an exciting new adventure, only to witness moments when his parents are barely able to hide their sorrow and bitterness. The book ends on a note of hope, but also with a warning to remain vigilant lest history repeat.
