Love in an Idaho Concentration Camp: An Interview with Maggie Tokuda-Hall

Episode 24,   Jul 26, 2023, 11:30 AM

"Love in the Library" by Maggie Tokuda-Hall is the story of George and Tama, and how they met and fell in love in the Minidoka Relocation Center, a concentration camp for Japanese-Americans. Their story is one of heartbreak, sadness, joy and happiness. This week we talk about how American citizens came to be forced into concentration camps, and then Jeff interviews the granddaughter of George and Tama. We finish the conversation with a discussion on how book bans and the language we use can end up with our neighbors torn from their homes, and their entire lives ruined.
