Episode 5: Coming Home: Life After Internment

During internment, the Japanese had done their best to maintain autonomy and community despite their difficult circumstances. While laboring at Nyssa and counting down the long desert days at Minidoka, many thought of what life would be like after the war. Upon leaving the camps, would they be embraced or rejected? Would they ever get back what was lost? In this episode, we examine what it was like for those who returned to their homes in Gresham.
