Episode notes

What does it mean to be a descendant of the incarceration? Jonnie and Yoko are joined by guests Lauren Matsumoto and Jason Fujii to discuss our families’ camp experiences and explore how those experiences inform our yonsei identities. From the importance of pilgrimages to all the little stories passed down from our grandparents, this episode dissects why who we are is so deeply entangled with these desolate sites of WWII incarceration.
