I also found this very interesting.  Not only did our guide have a very vivid memory on his time in the internment camps and when he was a child, but due to the shame and embarrasment that he felt by being Japanese as well as the stigma that many Americans had on Japanese cutlure, he did not want to learn the Japanese language.  To this day, he doesn't speak Japanese, I find it fascninating that even up to today, he didn't want to learn Japanese language.
