I live in a part of town known as Florin. Before the war it was largely populated by Japanese immigrants who grew strawberries. Sadly most never came back from internment. A few had their land looked after but not nearly enough.
Very sad time in our history.
I grew up in Richmond, BC. MANY of my ethnic background (Mennonite) had profited at the expense of the Japanese when they were interned, as their land was available for cheap in the whole lower mainland. Ironic, since the Mennonites themselves were also interred during the war.
We so easily see the enemy as "them".... when often it is "us".
Peace,
Vic
