Perspectives

[Jonathan Tam]

Hi Anthony. You brought up a great point about why other countries might bring young people to the museum. It definitely makes you wonder whether it's meant to articulate the level of sacrifice that Japanese-Americans faced in order to maintain relations between Japan and America or to promote a sense of japanese nationalism or even just to learn about the events of history. It would be really interesting to look inside a textbook or primary source on the matter and to translate some of the language behind it to see what attitude this event in history is greeted with.
