Join us for a conversation with Tracy Slater, author of the new book Together in Manzanar: The True Story of a Japanese Jewish Family in an American Concentration Camp, and Densho Content Director Brian Niiya.
Together in Manzanar tells the fascinating and little-known story of prominent labor and antifascist activists Elaine Yoneda, the child of Russian Jewish immigrants, and her husband Karl, a Kibei who had cut his union organizing teeth in Hiroshima before returning to California. This new narrative history follows the Yonedas as they navigate forced removal and incarceration during WWII, bringing with it a series of painful choices and conflicting loyalties, upheavals and violence, and a quest to survive with their children safe, their family whole, and their ethics intact.
