[media-credit name=”FC file photo” align=”alignright” width=”260″][/media-credit]Dear Editor:

I really enjoyed reading Jason Kim’s wonderful article, Kawashima recalls internment camp experience (VIDEO, PODCAST), published on Feb. 22, 2013.

Hope Kawashima is actually a relative of mine. She is my cousin’s grandmother so I was astonished to see that she is in a Fresno Christian article, telling about her childhood experiences!

I felt a little proud that Kawashima was willing to share about her imprisonment and the uncomfortable environment she was placed in due to the interment camps. I am glad that I don’t have to live in that kind of environment myself.

I agree with Jason Kim that it is unfair that innocent Japanese Americans had to be imprisoned just because vicious Japanese soldiers attacked Pearl Harbor. Many Japanese Americans learned perseverance and forgiveness as a result of living in the internment camps.

To be honest, I cannot think of any adjustments for this article. It is well written. I also want to let you and the writer know I appreciate the fact that you both took the time and trouble to write and edit this informative article.

I hope I will have time to read more of your articles on The Feather.
