A Time of Remembrance

Wednesday, February 13th by Carla

Teacher Gail Desler and her students have produced A Time of Remembrance, an ongoing oral history of Japanese-Americans who endured the internment camps during World War II. Desler describes the project as recording the “living voices” of these people and views it as a legacy.

This is a good resource for anyone who is teaching Journey to Topaz, Farewell to Manzanar, oral history, or World War II. Desler adds, “All of those interviewed have given permission for teachers to incorporate the interview clips and photo images into lessons.”
