On February 21, 2018, members of the Lake Forest Park Rotary heard from speaker Gloria Kawabori about her life and that of her family in internment camps in the US from 1942 to 1945.

American citizens lost homes, businesses, land, and often more valuable things intrinsic to one's dignity and welfare.

Of the 120,000 Japanese and others who were sent to the camps, not one was found guilty of spying or sabotage against our country.
