This book reopens a chapter in Canadian history. The book is a
series of diary entries beginning in 1941, when author Tom Sando
was imprisoned in concentration camps, first in Petawawa and then
Angler, Ontario -- a young Japanese Canadian imprisoned only
because he was willing to stand and fight for his rights as a
Canadian. The Japanese Canadians relocated to Petawawa and Angler
were imprisoned in maximum security penitentiaries: compounds
encircled by three layers of barbed wire fences, and under constant
surveillance by rifle-armed guards stationed in watchtowers. These
people were not prisoners-of-war or even criminals, but Canadian
civilians deemed dangerous by the Canadian government because of
their race. This is a unique first-hand look at a part of the
Japanese internment that many Canadians are still unfamiliar with.
Tom Sando relates his story of loneliness, fear, and eventually
friendship and hope, candidly and with careful thought.
