Nikkei Incarceration Abroad

The story of incarceration doesn’t only follow Japanese Americans. Japanese Canadians and Japanese Latin Americans were also subjected to the cruel practice of incarceration during World War II. In today’s episode, Matthew and Jonnie sit down with Kayla Isomura and Marisa Nakada, descendent of Nikkei outside the US, to learn more about the stories of incarceration even we as Japanese Americans rarely hear. With some similarities to the Japanese American experience, and even more surprising differences, the story of Nikkei incarceration across the Americas is one that everyone should learn.
