| During
World War II, the Japanese invaded the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
Within days, the U.S. military evacuated all the native people supposedly
for their own protection. They were relocated to camps in Alaska's
southwest where the living conditions were deplorable. One in four
people died in the camps. This is Vera's story of her life in the
camps and what she finds when the war is over. |
