• Masuo Yasui emigrated from Japan to Oregon in the early 1900s. He established a dry goods store and sent for the Japanese woman who would become his wife and bear their children. Yasui became a respected figure in the valley community until on December 12, 1941, five days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, when he was arrested as "potentially dangerous" enemy alien and interned along with many other Japanese-Americans. Tells the story of the consequences of the U.S. internment policy and the Yasui family's long battle to reclaim their place as Americans. (Restricted to use on University of Washington campuses only)
