 Do you know what really happened inside the Japanese internment camps during WWII? Join Jeanne and her family as they give you a true glimpse of what life was really like in Manzanar, a remote desert internment camp known for its relentless, billowing flurry of dust and sand .â€?  In 1945, after three and a half years of humiliating conditions they were finally released from the camp.  Where can they go now? They have no home to go back to. .. Nothing!   Papa already knew the car he'd put money on before Pearl Harbor had been repossessed. And, as he suspected, no record of his fishing boats remained. This put him right back where he'd been in 1904, arriving in a new land and starting over from economic zero.? Find out where this Japanese-American family settles and how they reestablish their new lives in a racist, post WWII America.  (Kelly Steers, teacher, kellysteers@yahoo.com)
