Sandra Oh reading Yuri Kochiyama’s experiences in a concentration camp during WWII for Voices of a People’s History of the United States.
I was so red, white and blue, I couldn’t believe this was happening to us, America would never do a thing like this to us, this was the greatest country in the world. So I thought this was only going to be for a short while maybe a few weeks or something and they’ll let us go back. At the beginning no one realised how long this would go on, I didn’t feel anger that much because I thought maybe this was the way we could show our love for our country and we should not make too much fuss or noise, we should abide by what they ask of us. I’m a totally different person now.
