Both Helen and Tosh were interned in
Detention Camps for years following the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Listen and learn how these
individuals, young children in 1942, were taken from their homes and interned in
camps for three years.
They'll tell you what it was like to
be placed on a train with nothing other than the clothes on their backs, taken
to various locations, and housed in"tar paper" buildings for the duration of
World War II.
They'll tell you the hardships they
faced; the lack of privacy they were afforded, their crowded surroundings in a
single room...
...all the while behind barbed wire
fences with military personnel having loaded rifles pointed at them each moment
of every day.
...and the loss of all their
possessions...when they were finally sent home with nothing
but a TRAIN TICKET and $25.00.
...and these two
people were NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZENS...Helen
being 4th Generation American...never even speaking
the Japanese language.
Their
crimes....being of Japanese
descent.
All part of a new Vegas Voice
venture...
...participation is a national
program entitled "Keep the Spirit of '45
Alive".
And don't forget to read The Vegas
Voice, the largest Age 50+ Senior newspaper in the Las Vegas
valley.
And....if you miss the broadcast, and would
still like to hear it, all you have to do is go the Vegas Voice website under
the "Radio" section. All the past shows are
available at the click of mouse.
And...don't forget to check our "History and Holidays" Information Page on Tuesday, January 14th, for an

Cried".
