Over the long holiday weekend, my husband and I decided to drive to California and visit Manzanar. This was one of the ten Japanese relocation camps in the US during WWII. I was profoundly moved by this place and I picked up a couple of books to help me understand what happened there. Both “Farewell to Manzanar” and “Only What We Could Carry” give firsthand accounts from the people who were unjustly taken to these camps at that time.
