A memoir by George Takei of Star Trek fame. He tells the story of him and his family during WWII being moved from their home to a camp. The fear that Japanese people (many who were born in America) living in America were loyal to Japan and would cause trouble in the states. Japanese internment is so near in our history yet shockingly, those same feelings of fear of people who are in any way different seems so contemporary. Beautifully done.
